About Suppressing Items in the Model Tree
Suppressing a feature temporarily removes it from the model, both physically and visually. You can use the Hide command to visually remove a feature. However, if you want to remove temporarily remove a feature, for example, in order to try another one in its place. Suppressing and resuming features allow you to temporarily remove a single or group of features and restore them later.
