Moving items to a different layer
The Layers palette provides three methods for moving existing items to a different layer. Using the Item tool 
, select the items you want to move, and then do one of the following things:
- Click the Move Item to Layer button
, and then choose the target layer in the Move Items dialog box.
- Drag the Item icon
to the target layer.
- Cut the items from their current layer and paste them on the target layer.
To place a copy of an item on a different layer, press Control/Ctrl while dragging the Item icon to the target layer in the Layers palette.
Note: You can move master page items on layout pages from the Default layer to other layers, but those items will no longer be master page items if you do so.
