The target icon indicates whether an item in the layer hierarchy has any appearance attributes and whether it is
targeted:
• Indicates the item is not targeted and has no appearance attributes beyond a single fill and a single stroke.
• Indicates the item is not targeted but has appearance attributes.
• Indicates the item is targeted but has no appearance attributes beyond a single fill and a single stroke.
• Indicates the item is targeted and has appearance attributes.
To target an item in the Layers panel, click the item’s target icon. A double ring or indicates that the item is
targeted. Shift-click to target additional items.
Note: When an object or group is selected by any method, the item is also targeted in the Layers panel. In contrast, a
layer can be targeted only by clicking its target icon in the Layers panel.
