Basic hide and lock behavior
When applying hide or lock to a group:
- The selected group receives
hide or
lock status.
- All children inherit the status and will be marked with a
dot.
- Inherited elements can only be shown or unlocked with the parent.
Inherited rules
Standard inheritance
When you hide or lock a group (we'll take group 3 as an example), it applies the status (H/L) to the selected group. It automatically assigns an inherited status to all its children, which can only be modified by their parents.
Mixed states
When you work with a design set and while you're in focus mode, you modify a child layer's hide or lock state within a group (we'll take layer 3 as an example), it creates a mixed state indicated by an orange dot while maintaining the parent group's status and other children's inherited states.
Priority rules
When hiding/locking a group (let's take group 3) that contains already hidden, locked layers (layers 2 and 4), those layers preserve their individual states (H/L) while other layers inherit the group's status and toggling the group again only affects the inherited states.
Advanced features
