Hi, I am trying to hide my layer called question Mark's when I click my save button that I created. I think I need javascript. I understand how to show/hide fields but not sure what script to use for this. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

You don't need a Script, use the "Set Layer Visibility" action

To use this, set your layer to hidden on the Layers panel. Then set this action on the button. Now show your layer. When the button is pressed the layer will be hidden.

I just tried that. When I check hide it just takes away the layer but i need it to be visible until i press the save button.  Unless I am pressing the wrong hide... all I have for hide on my panel is a square with an eye in it. Is that it?

You are correct. The idea is to set the layer visibilty to the desired state when the button is pushed. Then you add or set the "Set Layer Visibility" action. Now you can changer the layer visibility what you want it to be normally.
