Hide/Unhide in assemblies

Hi Everyone,
A newbie question here. I build assemblies from parts and sub assemblies. Sometimes while I'm in the assembly I would like to hide some of the parts from the sub assemblies, or parts I have inserted. I found the option to hide all other instances, or hide all instances, but I can't find a way to unhide everything when I'm finished. It's probably a no brainer, but my brain can't resolve it.

Dear Harold,
It is very simple, you just select all the instances (you can help yourself for this by holding down the shift key). Then right click on any of the selected instances to select Hide/Show.
I hope I have given a good explanation
Regards

The Y key is a very handy shortcut, I was recently reminded of this by @romeo_graham and I made sure to never forget again!
To show all instances you can right click in the white space and select "show all instances"
Careful not to click "Show All" That will show mate connectors/sketches/etc..
You can also take advantage of display states to quickly go set specific parts to be hidden in one click.
There is also Isolate, and make transparent (reverse isolate)
