Viewing layers

The Layers panel displays objects and layers in a hierarchical structure. If a document contains
many objects and layers, the Layers panel can become cluttered and difficult to navigate.
Collapsing the display of layers helps eliminate clutter. When you need to view or select
specific objects on a layer, you can expand that layer. You can also expand or collapse all layers
at once.
To expand or collapse the objects on a layer:
Click the Plus (+) or Minus (-) button (Windows) or the triangle (Macintosh) to the left
of the layer name in the Layers panel.

To expand or collapse all layers:

Alt-click the Plus (+) or Minus (-) button (Windows) or Option-click the triangle
(Macintosh) to the left of the layer name in the Layers panel.
