Where is the button for hiding Live View display in 2017?

Where is the button now for hiding Live View display in DW2017? This hides outlines etc in Live View. The shortcut is ctrl-alt h but it's one I need to keep looking up. The button at the top right of live view in 2015 was better for me but now it's been relocated to somewhere I can't find it,

    The button is also within the Common Toolbar.

    When turned on, the Common Toolbar is the only one that situates itself in a vertical orientation. I lock mine on the left side of the screen so it appears somewhat like the old Code View document options, but there's no way to change the orientation so far.

    You can click the Live View Options button (small document with eyeball icon, 3rd from the top by default) and choose Hide Live View Displays there as well.

    Thanks. I have the document toolbar open. It occupies the entire top of the screen and all it has are the 3 words Code Split and the design/live dropdown. There is no sign of the button from previous versions which give the display options for Live View. Like "Hide Display" (of dashed borders etc, at I stated in original post, accessible by ctrl-alt h)

    BTW the full width document toolbar seems a remarkable wste of screen real estate for just 3 words in the center, when other useful button controls have just apparently been dropped altogether or hidden somewhere.

    It's under View > Live View Options > Hide Live View Displays
