Selecting multiple layers in layers panel

[CP16]

I prefer to select multiple layers using the layers panel, and swiping on each layer. I think in V1 it must’ve automatically added the layer upon swiping, because I still do this all the time in V2. But in V2, I have to do a second step and tap “Add to Selection” for each layer. It’s tedious.

I can’t find a way to make it behave like it did before, with the default being add to selection. Is there a quick way for me to do this, without the added tap step?

Hi @CP16,

On the layers panel are you swiping from the left to right or from left to right on the layer? This gesture is the same on V2, swiping from left to right on a layer will add it to your layer selection, however if you swipe from right to left on the layer this will prompt the 'Add to Selection' submenu as you have described.
