Set the pop-up menu to Display.

Show or hide a layer.

Click the left column next to the name of the layer.

A “V” in the box means the layer is visible.

Cycle the layer’s display type between normal, reference, and template.

Click the middle column next to the name of the layer to cycle through three values:
