    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.

    Seems a little ridiculous this isn't available. There is a little box that the circle resides in to select the object and the layer. I'm no coder but I'm not paying enough to where if I click the circle and shift click another circle it can't select the layers and objects of those two and all in-between? I recognize there are other ways like moving the sub-layers to a new layer but this can really save me time including the time I've lost typing this message.
