Activate/Deactivate Panels?

I was just told by a friend that there's no possiblity to deactivate the panels in CO8, and can't quite believe that:

Let's say you fiddled around on an adjustment like figuring out the perfect split tone setting for an image, and now you decide you want to look at the image without the split tone again for a bit and maybe later decide whether or not you want to actually use it. How do I deactivate split tone (but keep the B&W) without resetting the panel completely?

If there was no way to deactivate it, I'd need to take a screenshot of the settings, reset the panel, and then later recreate the settings numerically from the screenshot? Apart from other possiblities like saving it as a preset or making another variant, but both appear to "overweight" for the simple function of deactivating a panel.

Can't be. Can someone point me to it, please?

Thanks!

  Creating a variant takes a fraction of a second and creates a very small file. I find it extremely useful.
  
  It provides for instant side by side comparisons of (multiple) variations if so desired.
  
  How is that overweight? Much less effort than making a screen shot ...
  
  I also recognise the benefits (and the processing overhead) of being able to switch tools on and off in real time but only layers have such functionality, currently, as a permanent on/off switch in C1.
  
  I use other software that offers control over everything and sometimes it can be useful but it requires a lot more effort from the user to produce the results in high file volume situations more than 99% of the time. I still use the variant concept with that system if comparing the results of different images. It allows much greater flexibility for comparing images.
  
  HTH.

  Ok, maybe "overweight" isn't the right term, true. But creating a second instance of an image as a container to store my settings that I just want deactivated for a while is just not the most direct way, or in other words: It's a workaround.
  
  Wow, however great CO8 is otherwise, I'm a little surprised with how many workarounds it still requires for standard stuff.
  
  But ok, that answers my question, thank you very much for your answer.

  Click and hold local reset while holding option/alt will temporarily disable the adjustment.

  Jim, thanks for your reply, it's very helpful that you people from P1 also reply in the user forums.
  
  Yeah, I've seen that possiblity, but I'm referring to "locking" that disable state.

  Then SFA has the best option...
