To collect multiple layers into a single new layer, which sequence describes the steps?

• A. Open the Layers Panel. Shift-click the layers. Select the Layers Panel options icon and choose "Collect to New Layer". Double-click to rename the new layer.
• B. Use the Layers Panel's New Layer button to create a new layer.
• C. Drag layers onto a new layer
• D. Object > Group

Answer: (A)

Consolidating multiple layers into one new layer uses a command that moves the contents of the selected layers into a single new layer container. You select the layers you want to combine (Shift-click to include a range), then open the Layers panel menu and choose Collect to New Layer. Illustrator creates a new layer and places the selected layers inside it as sublayers, and you can rename the new layer by double-clicking its name. This is the best approach because it actually creates a new layer and gathers the chosen content into it in one step. Simply creating a new layer doesn’t move existing content into it, and dragging content onto a layer requires manual moving. Grouping objects, on the other hand, keeps them together within the same layer rather than creating a new layer to hold multiple layers.
