There are times when you will want to show/hide layers, such as for less visual distraction when working on a specific area of your composition, to see how one variation of a design looks compared to another, to add/remove a logo, place something else in the scene, or remove an element. As you work on larger or more complex compositions, the Hide feature will come in quite handy.
