Filter the Layers panel by smart objects | Photoshop CC
1. In the Layers panel, select Smart Objects from the filtering pop up menu.
Filter layers by smart objects
2. Click one of the following icons:
Filter for up-to-date linked smart objects
Filter for out-of-synch linked smart objects
Filter for missing linked smart objects
Filter for embedded smart objects
You can use the toggle switch () to turn layer filtering off.
Duplicate an embedded smart object
In the Layers panel, select a Smart Object layer, and do one of the following:
To create a duplicate Smart Object that is linked to the original, choose Layer > New > Layer Via Copy, or drag the Smart Object layer
to the Create A New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. Edits you make to the original affect the copy and vice versa.
To create a duplicate Smart Object that isn’t linked to the original, choose Layer > Smart Objects > New Smart Object Via Copy. Edits
you make to the original don’t affect the copy.
A new Smart Object appears in the Layers panel with the same name as the original and “copy” as a suffix.
Edit the contents of a Smart Object
When you edit a Smart Object, the source content is opened in either Photoshop (if the content is raster data or a camera raw file) or the
application that handles the placed format by default (for example, Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Acrobat). When you save changes to the source
content, the edits appear in all linked instances of the Smart Object in the Photoshop document.
1. Select the Smart Object from the Layers panel, and do one of the following:
Choose Layer > Smart Objects > Edit Contents.
Double-click the Smart Objects thumbnail in the Layers panel.
