Hey ​@Jatmiko_Gunawan, thanks for sharing the screenshot! That confirms you're on our updated layers panel, which lines up with what I found: this is a known issue. The click-and-drag-to-toggle-visibility behaviour for multiple layers didn't carry over as expected when we made updates to the panel. It's on our radar and the team's working on bringing it back, though I don't have a timeline to share just yet.

In the meantime, here's a faster option than clicking one by one:

  1. Select the layers you want to hide (Shift-click or Cmd/Ctrl-click to select multiple)
  2. Click the visibility (eye) icon in the Appearance section of the right sidebar

This toggles visibility for the whole selection at once. Here's more on toggling layer visibility if it's helpful.

 

Hope this helps!

Hey ​@Gayani_S 

Thanks for the response, I'm facing the same issue and was about to create a topic on that before finding this one. Also, besides not being able to click-and-drag for toggling multiple layers, every time I toggle the visibility by just clicking on the eye it automatically selects the layer I'm hiding. Very annoying. Is the team aware of this issue/working on it?

Also ​@Jatmiko_Gunawan you can select the layers and press cmd + shift + H to hide it all at once.
