In much the same way you
organize files on your computer, you can use similar concepts to
organize layers and layer folders in a document. You can expand or
collapse a layer folder to show or hide its contents. You can also move a
layer or folder into a layer folder or to another place in the layers
list. Layer folders can contain layers and other layer folders. In
addition, you can copy a layer or copy the contents of a layer folder.
