I’ve been working on a detailed poster in Illustrator with tons of elements spread across multiple layers. It’s starting to get really overwhelming, and I find myself constantly hunting for specific objects in the Layers panel. Sometimes the program even lags a bit because of the complexity. I know grouping and naming layers helps, but I feel like there must be a better way to keep everything organized without adding more steps to my workflow.
Is there a recommended strategy or Illustrator feature that makes managing complex artwork easier? Maybe something with layer searching, filtering, or maybe organizing sublayers efficiently? Also, any tips on how to keep this organized from the start to avoid last-minute chaos would be fantastic. I’m open to any workflow improvements that keep things smooth and fast. Thanks!

If you’re finding the Layers panel overwhelming, try using the Layers Search feature in Illustrator CC—it lets you quickly filter objects by name, appearance, or type, which can save a lot of time. Also, remember that you can lock layers or groups temporarily to avoid accidentally selecting too many items. Sometimes breaking your artwork into smaller, more manageable layer sets can also help keep things organized without having one massive list.
