Question

Can't no longer collapse/expand multiple layers simultaneously

Previously, it was possible to collapse or expand multiple layer groups simultaneously, but it no longer seems possible. It was as simple as selecting multiple groups and holding the CMD key while clicking on one if their chevron icon-button. 

This ability seems to have been removed, unless it’s simply the shortcut that changed? 

This feature was quite useful to navigate quickly within the layers panel. It would be great to bring it back as it doesn’t seem to conflict with any new features.

Hey ​@Frederic_Giroux 👋 Thanks for the info!

I found a forum post referencing this capability (holding Cmd/Ctrl while clicking a chevron to expand/collapse all selected groups at once), I wasn't able to confirm it in our official Help Center docs. The docs cover single-chevron clicks, the "Collapse layers" button, and Option/Alt + L, but not the modifier-click multi-toggle behavior you're describing.

Docs:

I’m happy to dig in more with you and I think we need a bit more info. Talk soon — Jaycee

Chiming in here - haven’t had the time to search for that issue until now but I’m having the exact same issue. My muscle memory tries to do it like this ALL THE TIME 😂 So I’m very confident this has to have existed at some point?

A little workaround in the meantime: You can cmd & alt & click on the arrow of a group - it will collapse everything inside and itself as well. Then you can click (without holding any key) to open it again and reveal the now collapsed contents.

It’s not as convenient, since you have to navigate to the parent, hold one additional key and then do another click still, but it’s beter than nothing for now 🙏
