With the Collect in New Layer command, you can move
all the selected layers in the Layers panel into a new layer. You can
select top-level layers, sublayers, groups, or objects. With the Release
to Layers (Sequence) command, you can move objects or groups that are
nested within a top-level layer into separate layers within the same
layer. If you want to build an animation, you can use the Release to
Layers (Build) command to create a sequence of objects that you can use
to create the animation in a program such as Adobe Flash.
