There should be layer parenting in Adobe Animate, just like After Effects does it.
Another way could be simply adding keyframing properties to animate groups containing layers. That way when animating hand-drawn animation, you only animate the group and not every body part. And also you don't have to be juggling between symbols.

Strongly agree.

It's important to control the Layer folder.

Add Frame Delete Frame etc

Drag, rotate, etc.

And I also need

It is best to identify a separate contour in the Layer folder and copy it to the new layer.

Because when we draw, we often draw step-by-step.

Hands, body, etc are all different layers.

And when it comes to filling, it's a problem.

We're going to have to handle every graphic in a closed line.

Or, reinsert each frame in the layer into the keyframe, and then select and paste it into the new layer.

The workload is huge.
