    Dear users,


    Can you please let us know what is that you cannot do with the existing 'save selection' functionality that you expect to do by grouping objects from different layers?


    'Save selection' enables you to combine objects from different layers without having to bring them into one single layer.


    To use 'save selection' just select your desired objects and save the selection from the select > save selection menu command or from the bottom of the layers panel.

    Save selection isn't the functionality that we need, grouping objects on different layers is what's needed.

    Great to hear this is being worked on. I'll answer the questions I was sent in an email (can't see where to reply)
    Do you use saved selections in your workflow?
    I tried, but I am trying to create reusable components. E.g. Create button 1, button 2, then add them to tile A. Now I want to create multiple versions of this new objects, each one with some combination of these elements and extra objects. Personally, I want to create approximately 100+ objects. This quickly breaks saved selections as there is too many of them to make sense of. Plus I can't change the order of saved selections.
