It is possible for *some* layers/sublayers to be in Outline mode while others are in Preview mode. 

Check the eyeball icon... if it's got a solid iris, it's in Preview mode.. if the iris is vacant, then it's in Outline mode.

-------------------

Toggling the `View Menu` for Preview/Outline will **not** toggle sublayers. Sublayers will stay in the mode they are currently in. 

Toggling the `View menu` item **only toggles main layers**. It doesn't even toggle objects on a layer. The menu only sees top level layers, that's all.

---------------------

To toggle *individual* layers/sublayers between Preview/Outline modes, simply hold the <kbd>Command/Ctrl</kbd> key and click the eyeball icon in the **Layers Panel**.


----------------

>Ctr + Alt + Y or Ctr + Alt + A does nothing. What is up?

Because these shortcuts are for **Pixel Preview** and **Select All on Artboard** respectively. They have *nothing* to do with Preview/Outline mode. (Unless Adobe recently changed them, which is very rare.)
