# Controlling the Display of a Layer or Layer Group
Two tools are available to manage the display of layers and layer groups:
* The first allows you to **enable or disable the display** of the layer or group on the map, for the current Studio work session.
* The second allows you to **enable or disable the initial visibility** of the layer in the project. This determines whether the layer will be visible on the map when users open the project.
**To access these functions:**
1. Hover over the layer or group to display the action icons.
2. Click 
or 
to enable or disable the display of the layer or group for your work session.
3. Click the visibility icon 
or 
to enable or disable the application of visibility settings and to modify the initial visibility setting of the layer in the project.
