Hiding Multiple Layers

Question:

I would like to keep one layer visible but hide all the others. I know I can just click on the eye icon for each layer I want to hide. However, this can be tedious if a file has many layers. Is there a more efficient (time-saving) way to do this?

Answer:

Yes. Take your pick!

- Select the layer you want to keep visible.
- Alt/Option-click on the eye icon for that layer. (All the other layers will be hidden except the selected one.)

OR

- Right-click on the eye icon for the layer you want to keep visible.
- Select "Show/hide all other layers" in the drop-down menu.

NOTE:

To reverse the process, i.e., to make all the other layers visible again, just repeat the steps delineated above.
