Please return the posibility to "Show layer at all scales" that exists in ArcMap!
This function makes it easy to override and swich between a scale that's set on a layer, and being able to watch the layer at all scales. In ArcGIS Pro now you have to write down the scale on a paper to make sure you don't forget or change it while you look at a layer in any scale and then write/set the prevoius scale again on the layer after checking how it looks.

I work a lot with layers that have Visibility Ranges set so they do or don't show in or out beyond certain zoom levels. This is a handy and needed feature. However I also very frequently, daily, need to remove the scale visibility for the duration of some task.

It would be very useful to have a button, in the View ribbon perhaps, to toggle the Visibility Range settings on/off, so we don't have to "select layer >> properties >> General >> delete min >> delete max >> Ok" again and again. And then add them back again when finished the task.

I've since located a UI path that's simpler than what I outlined above: there's a 'clear limits' button on the Feature Layer ribbon.

This is good for my overall sanity, but still different from what this idea is about. The button is to clear limits on a single layer at a time, and the old values are lost. The idea is about simply toggling the limits on/off for all layers at once, though now that I think about it, it would be better as "all selected layers in ToC".
