Link and unlink layers

When layers are linked, you can move their contents together. You can also copy, paste, merge, and apply transformations to all linked layers simultaneously. At some point, you may want to edit or move one linked layer. You can simply unlink the layers to work on one layer at a time

  1. Select the layers you’d like to link in the Layers palette. To select more than one layer, hold down the Command key and click each layer.
  2. Click the Link Layer icon  at the top of the Layers palette. The linked icon  appears in the linked layers.
  3. To unlink layers, select a linked layer in the Layers palette and click the Link Layers icon at the top of the Layers palette.
