Layer Groups Vs. Linking Layers
Layer Groups allow you to easily select, move, mask, and manipulate multiple layers as a single unit.
With Linked Layers you can move multiple layers whenever you select any individual layer, and it is possible to link layers that are in different groups.
To create Layer Links simply select 2 or more layers and click the Link Layers icon (a chain link icon) in the Layers panel.
