How to copy a layer while keeping synchronization?

👉 To copy a layer with synchronization, use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + V

This mode keeps the copied layer synchronized with the original.

What’s the difference with a simple copy-paste ?

• Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V: standard copy, without synchronization.
• Ctrl + C /Ctrl + Shift + V: copy with synchronization, meaning any changes made to the original layer will automatically be applied to the copied one.

When is it better to use a cross sequence?

When working on a project with multiple sequences, it is often more efficient to place the layer in the cross sequence rather than pasting it with synchronization into each sequence individually.
