What does Isolation Mode in Illustrator allow you to do?

Isolation Mode in Illustrator is specifically designed to enable users to focus on a single object or a group of objects within a complex artwork without having to worry about inadvertently affecting other elements. When you activate Isolation Mode, all other objects outside of your selection are temporarily hidden or locked, allowing for seamless editing of the chosen object(s). This is particularly useful in intricate designs where multiple overlapping elements can make it challenging to select or work on a desired piece.

By utilizing Isolation Mode, designers can easily adjust properties, move, or transform the selected object(s) while ensuring that the surrounding artwork remains untouched. This functionality enhances workflow efficiency and helps avoid accidental modifications to other components in the design.

The other options, while they may relate to various features in Illustrator, do not accurately define the purpose of Isolation Mode. Editing multiple objects simultaneously pertains more to group actions rather than isolating a single object. Deleting objects permanently and resizing images without quality loss are tasks that can be accomplished in Illustrator but are unrelated to the concept of Isolation Mode.
