While working on your document, you can show and hide layers to see how the page will appear in different conditions. Use the Layer palette to change the visibility of layers. Use the Layer preferences panel to set the default visibility for new layers. See Layer preferences.
To change layer visibility:
| 1 | Choose Window > Layers to open the Layer palette. |
| 2 | Click the eye-icon column to change the visibility. |
| An open eye means the layer is visible. A closed eye means the layer is invisible. If there is no eye icon, the layer inherits visibility from its parent. For unnested layers, the parent is the document body, which is always visible. | |
| To change the visibility of all layers at once, click the header eye icon at the top of the column. | |
