The List By Snapping tab 
in the Contents pane includes check boxes that turn snapping on or off by layer. When you add a layer to a map or scene, it is automatically enabled as snappable. Layers with snapping disabled remain visible but undetectable by your active snap agents.
Layer snapping by layer operates independent of the pointer snap settings. If the scale or complexity of your feature data is causing unwanted snapping, turning off snapping by layer can be an effective part of your overall snapping strategy in addition to adjusting the snapping tolerance and configuring snap agents.
