I've been working in a composition containing 65% opacity Shape layer background and some animated text layers on it.
Then I'm trying to paste this composition into another one, but there I can see only that semitransparent rectangle in it!
At the same time, my text layers have some strange marks - torquoise "#" symbols. What do they mean?

[#] Guide Layers
are only visible in the current composition, but not in other compositions or the final render. For e.g. In terms of working in a subcomposition, it can be useful to see the footage of the main composition. In this case, you can copy the footage to the subcomposition and turn it into a guide layer by
Selecting the Layer, go to Layer > Guide Layer or Right Click > Guide Layer (to enable or disable it).
Adobe says:
Like adjustment layers, guide layers are standard layers with special
status. A guide layer appears in the current composition but not in
any subsequent compositions or the final render (unless it is
specifically overridden in Render Settings.)
