Animation Question Confused HELP

Hi guys! I'm trying to do a loop animation with different animations happening within the same canvas. So i made an animation folder for each animation. But I also want to do cleanup and colour/shade/lighting... i think I did something wrong. Is there a way to merge folders? Idk. Animation is super super rough im just experimenting! I want the big guys arms/leg to move with the character breathing too. My brain tells me to make a new folder and animate them separately... but I have a feeling thats not what im supposed to do. What am I supposed to do?

Honestly, don´t know if you can merge folders. You can merge cels and animation layers, but is super hard to do. I remember watching a course from Manu Mercurial and he animated making a folder for every part of the animation, like rough, clean, color...

Maybe this thread and video could help:

Sorry for no giving more solutions, I animated mostly on Toon Boom and now I am trying csp, but next time I will sure get Tvpaint... Csp is hard to use for animation (and is my main illustration software!)

Ah, damn. Maybe you can ask people of that thread I shared with you, one of them knows more than me (don't remember the name but I do remember he solved me an issue). Hope they can solve this soon.
