How to make a change to one layout page

[michael_carter2AQW7]

I am trying to draw up some plans for one of the buildings at my work and I want to have it set up to show certain details on different pages. The problem that I am having is that whenever I make a change to one of the layout pages, it applies the same change to every other layout page. When I hide an object so that I can make dimensions on something else without it being really cluttered it will hide that object on every layout page and end up messing up the dimensions that I did on those pages. 

I want some of the objects in the drawing to be hidden on one layout page and then I want other objects to be hidden on another layout page but I can't seem to find a way to have each page be independent of the others.

you draw in modelspace. Yes?

Each Layout has a viewport that looks into modelspace. Yes?

In modelspace, thaw/turn on and unlock all the layers. All of them.

Start with the first Layout. Double-click inside a viewport to get inside it, start LAYER command, find the columns called VP..., those are layer controls exclusive to that viewport that you are inside.

Repeat inside each other viewport in all the layouts you want.

Just remember, in modelpace, all of your layers are always on/thawed all the time no matter what.
