When working with many layers, you can temporarily hide certain layers to avoid cluttering the stage.
You can also hide a group. When a group is hidden, all of the layers it contains appear hidden, but their individual visibility state is preserved. Therefore, if you hide only some layers inside a group, hide the group itself, then unhide the group, the layers that were individually hidden will remain hidden and the ones that were visible will be visible again.
How to show or hide a layer
- Do one of the following:
- In the Layer panel or the Layers view, click the
Show/Hide Layer icon just left of the layer. - In the Thumbnails view, click on the Show/Hide Layer icon just beneath the layer's name.
- In the Layer panel, the Layers view or the Thumbnails view, right-click on the layer and select Show/Hide Layers
- In the Layer panel, the Layers view or the Thumbnails view, select the layer, then select Layer > Show/Hide Layers from the top menu.
