    Hi Everyone, This feature has been available since August 2020 release (version 24.3). Please update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html Thank you for all the feedback.


    You can now select multiple layers in Layers panel. Click the bars (they get highlighted blue) if you want to operate layers and not their content (e.g. to drag to reorder) or click their markers to select their content — circle (target ones) or square (selection ones) next to them. There is no real difference which to pick, but if you want to select a range of layers, using Shift, use target markers.

    Yes this would be useful. It is something that you can do with Corel draw. I often find that I have files to deal with that contain many hundreds or even thousands if items on a layer, and before you can group them or move them to separate layers you need effective ways of selecting large numbers of them without having to click on each individual item one by one in the layers panel.
