Why are there other files in my Live Layers list?

When turning on Live Layers, sometimes you'll see unrelated group names under Show More.

📝 NOTE: Live Layers is available on Scriptation Team and Enterprise licenses.

This is because when Scriptation processes your script for Live Layers, it analyzes two things: Page Count and File Name.

If Page Count and File Name match another Live Layers file within your team, the existing Layer Groups appear at the top of the list;
If only the Page Count matches but the File Name is different, the existing Layer Groups appear in the Show More section. Sometimes these are for totally unrelated documents — they only show up because the page count matches.

If you want to start a fresh Layer Group, tap New (the people with + icon) and create one. The next person who opens that exact document with Live Layers will see your new Layer Group at the top of their list.
