To temporarily hide or show the content of a layer, click in the eye

To view the hierarchy of nested layers
Choose Hierarchic from the Layers palette menu
With this option selected, you can drag layers in the palette to change their nesting order. (To display all the layers at
the same level in the list, choose Flat from the palette menu.)
Converting layers into table-based layout grids
You can convert nonoverlapping layers and their contents into objects on a table-based layout grid in a new untitled
page. Converting layers is useful if you need a layout-grid-based design for the page in addition to your DHTML
layers-based design. If the layer contains text, it converts into a layout text box on the grid. The position, size, and
background color attributes of the layer are retained. GoLive creates a new page to contain the converted objects,
keeping the original page of layers intact.
You can also convert a table-based grid to a CSS-based grid by right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking
(Mac OS) the layout grid icon in the upper right corner of the layout grid, and choosing Convert To CSS Based Grid.
