    I am writing different UI panels, and each of them cover the exact same area. At runtime I enable and disable them as I see fit, but while actually designing the UI, I can't find a way to hide them.

    Is there a way to show/hide a canvas altogether; while in the scene view? I did try to uncheck the canvas checkbox but it still show up in the scene view. Same goes for text; if you uncheck it, it still show in the scene view. I thought that you can show and hide them, exactly like you do with a mesh render component; where you can uncheck it and it won't show in the scene view anymore.

    Since all my UI pane will go on top of each other; I find impractical to design a UI in this way. Is there a different way to design UI, which is not documented?
