Is there an easy way to toggle Show/Hide All Items (the eyeball on the timeline) for a slide?

I'd like to have a "Show All" button that would change the visibility of all objects (images, captions, shapes) on a slide to Visible. I'd love to be able to do that without having to address each item individually. If I can't affect all items' visibility at once, I'd settle for a way to do this via states or any other creative solution you all might have. Thanks in advance!

If you really want to show all elements on a slide you can use this javascript - just put it in an action (e.g. click on button) and choose execute Javascript&colon;

var slideElements = document.querySelectorAll('.cp-frameset');
for (var i = 0; i < slideElements.length; i++) {
    window.cp.show(slideElements[i].id);
}

Oh, and: I've been asked not to group anything because it affects text search/accessibility somehow (unclear on that as of yet)?

Why would grouping cause this? That is what I would use to hide a bunch of objects.

Alternative: you could use CpExtra widget (Infosemantics Australia) and a good labeling system to do the same. That widget is fantastic, but not free. You can have a look, a trial version is possible:

I suspect the same could be done with JS but will leave that to the multiple JS experts. I use only two of the mentioned workflows.

I was hoping you'd have some hidden parameter in your pocket that I could toggle with an action. Worth the ask! 😃

I don't really know about the grouping thing - one of the devs I talked to said that when objects are grouped, they aren't searchable as text from the TOC, and that it could affect the way screen readers work?

Thanks for the recommendation - I'll head over to Infosemantics and check it out. I appreciate the help and the quick response!
