    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.

    2 YEARS! That's the last time someone requested that Shift + click allow us to span layers and select multiple at the same time. Please save us hundreds of hours by making this feature (available in Photoshop, Windows Explorer, and so many more) standard for Illustrator. PLEASE.

    I'm pulling my hair out here, and as a balding man, that is not helping anyone.
