Did you know you can copy and paste objects and maintain the layer structure?
If you’re in the habit of pasting objects to different documents then adding new layers, then renaming those layers and then moving the objects to their correct layers to replicate the layer structure in the previous document (sounds like a lot of hard work), this tip is for you.
If you go to the layers panel drop down menu (top right) you will see the option “Paste Remembers Layers” (see image below).
Once you choose this option, you have the ability to copy any page elements from different layers in the current document to a new or existing document. When you paste the page elements on the page, the exact same layer structure appears with each object on its correct layer, as it appeared in the previous document. What a time saver!
