Hide Your Guides in One Click

Although it is possible to hide/show guides with the shortcut Command-; (PC: Control-;), you can give yourself even more control by putting guides on their own layer. Click the Create New Layer icon in the Layers palette (under the Window menu), name the layer "guides," and then add guides to that layer. Then you can hide the guides by clicking on the Eye icon beside the layer name. To take this a step further, you could create several guide layers to give yourself even more options over which guides you'd like to be visible.
