Callout view, reference other view greyed out

[omorah]

I am learning Revit (2018). At the moment, I am learning Scope Boxes and Views. However, since I have been learning Revit, sometimes, when I clip on the work area I am on, something happens and everything turns grey except what I picked.

In the attached pic, I have the whole views showing as greyed. What do I always do to cause this. To go out of it, I close everything and reopen the project (am still learning). I had selected the purple (magenta) view, to cause all other views to go grey.

I read somewhere to put a 'Check' on 'Reference Other Views', however, I do not have that option on any of the tiles views.

Thanks.

Just found the answer.

I put the cursor outside the view I was, right-click and select "Deactivate View".

That worked!

Thank you "barthbradley" for your response!

You accidentally click on the title bar of the top left window - sheet A002.  Click inside the floor plan (bottom left) to go back to it.
