When dealing with a SmartArt graphic, you have to click the Arrange button on the Format tab of the SmartArt Tools contextual tab on the Ribbon to get access to the Selection Pane command button.
In addition to rearranging graphic objects on different layers, you can use this task pane to select particular graphic objects for editing or formatting as well as to temporarily hide their display in the worksheet:
✦ To select a graphic object in the worksheet, click its name in the list in the Selection task pane — to select multiple graphics, press Ctrl as you click their names in the list.
✦ To hide a particular graphic object in the worksheet, click the check box that appears after its name in the list to remove the eye icon, and to redisplay it, click this check box a second time to restore the eye icon.
✦ To hide all the graphic objects (including embedded charts) on the worksheet, click the Hide All button at the top of the task pane, and to redisplay them, click the Show All button.
