      I often work with files that have dozens of layers and sub-layers, especially when designing detailed illustrations. It gets really confusing and hard to keep track of everything, which slows down my workflow. I’ve tried naming layers but sometimes I still lose track of which elements belong where. Are there any tips or best practices in Illustrator to organize complex layer structures more effectively?

      Also, is there a quick way to isolate and work on specific groups of layers without toggling visibility one by one? I’ve heard about using layer groups and color-coding but I’m not fully sure how to implement these strategies efficiently. Any advice on maintaining clarity and speed while working with heavy and detailed Illustrator documents would be appreciated.
