Showing a selected layer type
After a layer type has been hidden, it can be shown in the map again using the Show Selected Layer Type tool. This tool makes the layers in the layer type visible in the map again and checks the check boxes next to the layers in the table of contents. For example, if the annotation layers have been hidden in the table of contents, they can be made visible again.
