Difficulty moving nested groups and sub-items to new layers
Merchants struggle with the tedious process of moving complex nested groups to different layers, as they must manually drill down into every sub-group to reassign geometry. There is a need for a fast way to change the layer for a group and all its included contents simultaneously.

when you copy a group, and then want to move the copied group to a new layer, you have to drill down into every single element and with a complex shape, (like a house) that takes a long time.
At this point I must open all the groups and select all the geometry and move them in the Layer B…is there a fast way to do it?
if I have 40 nested groups or more, I don’t want to select them all.
