# Visibility

The visibility property simply defines if a layer can be seen on the canvas or not. A layer can either be completely hidden or visible, or partially so by adjusting its opacity.

### Show/ Hide layer

To show or hide a layer

* Select your layer and go to the property panel
* In the 'visibility' section, toggle the 'eye' icon off to hide your layer or back on to show it.
