Making a cell visible/invisible for the user

You can show/hide cells to the user for a variety of reasons:
  • The user starts with cells that have a simple content and only gets to see the more complex cells later.
  • The user starts with cells within a certain category.
  • You don't want to show unused cells, to keep the page layout more attractive.
  • You want to show an underlying cell (in Freestyle).

Cells that are set to invisible, will have a red (slanted) cross in edit view.

Tip: You can use the Ctrl + Shift + I shortcut key in Edit view to show/hide the cell.
  1. Choose Menu > Edit F2.
  2. Choose the Cell tab in the edit panel.
  3. Navigate to the required page.
  4. Select the cells you want to show/hide.
  5. Fold open the Properties options group.
  6. In the Properties options group, choose Visible.
    The visibility of the cell changes. If the cell is invisible, there will be a red cross through the cell in edit view.
