Merging layers
When you merge two or more layers, all the items on all of the layers move to the same layer. Stacking order is maintained both within and among all of the merged layers (in other words, everything on a front layer remains in front of everything on a rear layer). To merge layers:
- In the Layers palette, select the layers to be merged.
- Click the Merge Layers button in the Layers palette. The Merge Layers dialog box displays.
- Choose a target layer from the Choose Destination Layer drop-down menu.
- Click OK. The visual indicators for the merged items display the color of the layer to which you merged, and the layers that you selected for merging are deleted.
