It's all right. Your Smily is grouped.

 

Question: Which selection tool do you use?
(Tip: Use the selection tool "Black Arrow" to select the group).

Hi @deep27948949csk8 

Please show a screenshot with the "Smily" selected and the Layers Panel open and expanded (all selected elements should be visible in the hierarchy of the Layers Panel)

Maybe you are in Isolation Mode.

Exit isolation mode

Do one of the following:

Press Esc.

Click Exit Isolation Mode  one or more times (if you’ve isolated a sublayer, one click takes you back a level, two clicks exits isolation mode).

Click anywhere in the isolation mode bar.

Click Exit Isolation Mode  in the Control panel.

Using the Selection tool, double-click outside of the isolated group.

Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (macOS) and click Exit Isolation Mode.
