Toggle snapping by layer

In the Contents pane, click the List By Snapping tab to enable or disable the ability to snap to features on a specific layer.

Disabling snapping for specific layers is commonly used to isolate snapping for georeferencing or measuring features. It is also used with the Trace construction tool to filter tracing to only snappable features.
