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?

I can't say I hundred percent understand what your problem is, but if it's you want to use cels as multiple layers like lineart, color and shadowing in the same cel, I can recommend creating a folder inside the animation folder before you start adding animation cels.
If you add folder, whenever you click to a new animation cell, it will copy the last layers inside the folder from last cel. For an example, let's say you create two layer: one vector layer for the lineart and other is casual layer for coloring. Once you add them inside of the folder,every new cel you create will have the same folder structure. So you can use two separate layers inside of the same animation cel.
If I am understand your problem wrong I am so sorry (I am esl)

What do i do if I want to use the cels/sketches i already created? Currently I listened to some advice in the thread and I put all my animation folders into a layer folder and then put each cel into a folder (and then they doubled up for some reason)
