Hide objects from Desktop or Mobile views

Update: Show and Hide objects now works for both Auto and Manual columns.

Sometimes you want to hide some objects in one mode and show them in another. There can be lots of reasons why you may want to do this, a common one is to simplify what is shown in mobile. This is also very handy when dealing with complex headers and footers that need to be simplified in mobile.

If you want to hide an entire Section see Hiding sections.

2. Go into the “Arrange” tab of the Editing Menu.
3. Click on Hide in Desktop or Hide in Mobile toggle to hide or unhide the object.
4. The object(s) will now be hidden and may be hidden from view if you have Hide hidden enabled.
