Illustrator has an “Isolation Mode” which is a toggle that can be found in the Options Bar. When it’s on, all objects in the document are locked so you can’t move, resize, or edit them.
Illustrator has two modes: isolated and linked. In isolated mode, Illustrator is in a separate process from the main application, so you can work on files without affecting the main application. This is useful if you want to work on a project in a separate window without disturbing the main application. In linked mode, Illustrator is part of the main application and your changes are automatically reflected in the main document.
Group isolation mode is a feature of Illustrator that allows you to create and edit vector artwork with other members of your team working on the same file at the same time.
In Illustrator, you can deselect something by clicking on the object and then clicking the “Deselect” button in the toolbar.

There are a few ways to deselect Adobe from your computer. The most common way is to go to “Control Panel” and click on “Add or Remove Programs.” There, you’ll see Adobe listed under the “Programs” category. You can click on “Adobe” and then click on the “Remove” button.
Illustrator’s preferences can be reset by going to File > Preferences and clicking on the General tab. There, you’ll find a Reset button that will reset all of Illustrator’s preferences to their default values.
To reset the Direct Selection tool, click and hold down the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) key and drag the tool to the bottom of the Illustrator window.
To reset the move tool in Illustrator, you can use the keyboard shortcut Command + Option + M (Mac) or Control + Alt + M (Windows).
There are a few reasons why you might not be able to merge your layers in Illustrator. One possibility is that the layers are in different file formats. If the layers are in different file formats, Illustrator won’t be able to merge them correctly. Another possibility is that the layers have different opacity levels, and merging them would result in an opacity change for one or more of the layers.
If you paste a layered file into another layered file, the new file will have the same number of layers as the original. If the original file had 10 layers and you paste it into another file with 10 layers, the new file will also have 10 layers.
Illustrator doesn’t support ungrouping objects.
To ungroup objects, go to File > Ungroup.
