Searching for Groups and Layers
If it’s difficult to find a single group or layer in a large project, you can use the Search field
at the bottom of the Layers, Media, and Audio lists. It is similar to the Search field in the
File Browser, and allows you to search for all layers or groups with a name containing the
search term you enter.

Creating and Managing Projects
Note: Groups and layers hidden as the result of a search operation are not disabled in
the Canvas, and they are not prevented from rendering during export.
In addition to searching for layers by name, you can find an object’s source media in the
Media list using the Reveal Source Media command.
