    Thanks to @mommyish crazy sale I know am the proud owner of lots of styles. Love them. I know how to load, know how to save but how do I get the name of the style to appear in my style palette? I generally have several loaded and am not versed enough to tell them apart. I was going a bit crazy trying to track down which I used in a layout for the MOC6 challenges.
    I'm working in CC. Is there a way to get the name to appear along with the style?

    I use CS6 but it should be the same in your version... click on the little arrow at the top of the styles panel and choose "large list"
    I will see if I can attach a screen shot:

    Thanks Anne-Marie, I never knew I could that! I still wish I could organize them differently but this helps immensely!

    Are you in CC? What kind of different?
    If you click on the hamburger (3 lines) button at the top of your styles palette, you can choose preset manager. Then in the preset manager you can click and drag the different ones around. Delete any you don't want in the set.
    Below, you can see (especially in the flower section) that I have 2 or 3 different shadow sets that I reorganized by type - buttons, flowers, papers, they all sit together now.

    I was thinking more like folders or maybe dividers just so I could group sets or sort things. I love your idea to group shadow sets by type - I'll have to try that too. Just having the names now might also be enough. I always had trouble figuring out which style was which when I was just hovering over a little thumbnail for the name.

    @merank you have inspired me. I already have all my mommyish styles in a folder to keep them together but all the others I have I might divide them up into things like... metallics... glitters... cardstock..... etc.

    I got really tired of scrolling to try to remember which shadow made the paper look like x. This way, it's faster to go through all the paper shadows! No scrolling.

    Mommyish has sticker styles in the Just the basics set that she sold a little while ago - $10 for a whole lot of styles.

    In PSE 13 I see the preset manager but it only loads one lot of styles at a time - I can't add and move them around. I need @bestcee to come around to my house and fix me (or my pc) either will work.

    In PSE 2018, it also only loads one set of styles at a time. Sigh. I wanted to group mine too. But if someone figures it out for PSE, let me know.

    Sorry! I would have to upgrade you to CC. I wasn't sure about the latest PSE until @BevG confirmed, but I knew you couldn't move them around in PSE14 and earlier.

    You should be able to load more than 1, I just don't think you can group them.

    Never mind. I think what you meant was have more than one visible at once. Yeah, you have to change the dropdown to which style you want.

    Both - you can only move one set around within itself - and yes, you can only see one set at a time to work with.

    Yeah, I was thinking brushes at first. With brushes you can have more than 1 set loaded at the same time.
