                    and click OK.
                    As with any other layer, you should name groups based on what they contain so you can
                    easily identify them later.

                12.  Click the arrow to the left of the Logos group name to expand the layer group.
                    You have to expand the layer group to be able to access and edit individual layers in the
                    group. If you select the entire layer group, you can move all layers within the group at
                    the same time. Layers in the group maintain their position relative to one another.
