I have a document with 7 canvases, each has the same, single, shared layer in it.

I'm having two issues.

First, when I update the shared layer, the changes do not propagate. For example, I add a text field to the shared layer on the first canvas and I do not see that text field on any other canvases. Am I not supposed to?

Second, if I create a new shared layer on a canvas, and then try to copy it to another canvas by alt-dragging, the layer created on the second canvas gets an increment added to its name, so that it is not understood to be the same layer. In other words, Shared 2, when alt-dragged becomes Shared 3 in the second canvas.

I'm confused. How do I update a shared layer so all canvases with that layer get the update? And how do I add a new shared layer to my document after canvases exist and share that layer to all the canvases?

Thanks!
