In my workflow, I use lots of layers, like hundreds. I don't spend time to organize it. Sometimes I locked some layers because I don't want to select them. After that, I want to unlock them again, but the selection tool works only on unlocked layers. Searching the locked layers from the sidebar is a cumbersome work. Is there a way to select even locked layer? If no, I suggest adding this function, maybe with the holding of option or command key?

Hi Vincent, I'm afraid there's no way to select a locked layer within the canvas at the moment, but this is a fair point! There are no easy solutions here as all modifier keys are taken when it comes to the Arrange tool, though, so we'll have to try and find a different way to accommodate workflows like yours.
