So let's just say in this case we need to have these two layers the raven's nest and the new layer so both text layers in a group and we want to be able to move them together easily. So what you need to do is to select both layers from the layers panel. Now you can use Command or Control key to add layers to your selection and these can be non-consecutive layers as well so I can skip the hill for instance and add fortress and with the same shortcut I can also remove it while if I let's say select the fortress layer and I want to select all the other layers on top of it I can just shift click on the layer on the top so that will select everything in between the two layers but for now I wanted to select these two layers…
