Tip: Hide or Lock Other Layers
In the Layers palette, Ctrl+click the “eye” icon next to a layer.
This will hide all of the other layers you have been working on instantly, leaving just the layer you have selected.
If you Ctrl+click the Lock icon, this will ensure that all layers, except that one, are locked.
