Independent

Each child layer independently manages its visibility. In independent mode, a child layer's visibility property is independent of its parent's and siblings' visibility properties. Changes to the parent or siblings' visibility properties have no effect on the current layer's visibility property. However, the rendering of a child layer on the view requires both its visibility property and its parent's visibility property to be true. This can be visualized in the context of a table of contents. A parent can contain multiple child layers, each with a differing value of their visibility property. Turning off the parent's visibility will prevent any child layer from rendering on the view. But their visibility property will still be reflected in the table of contents. Setting the parent's visibility back to true returns the view to the original state.
