Hiding an Element from the Layout

To completely hide an element from the layout, you can use the Visibility setting. This not only hides the element visually on the website but also removes it from the page’s source code.

Why Hide an Element from the Layout?

Full hiding can be useful in the following cases:

  • The site contains heavy unfinished blocks — if the page contains large unfinished sections with images that increase the page weight and slow down loading.
  • The texts of the site are not yet complete — if texts are not finalized yet and should not appear in search engines.
  • Site is in the process of development — if you’re experimenting with scripts via the Embed widget. Incomplete or faulty code could otherwise interfere with the website’s functionality.

How to Configure Element Visibility

To hide an element:

  1. Select the element in the design editor.
  2. In the Settings panel on the right, find the Visibility section.

  1. Select “Hidden” parameter.

After hiding an element:

  • The element will remain in the Layers list, and it will be marked with an “eye” icon crossed out by two lines.
  • A panel will appear at the top of the canvas with a “Set as visible” button.

Difference Between Visibility and Display Parameters

Display (Display: None) – the element is not shown on the page, but it remains in the source code. This parameter can be set in the Design tab under the Auto Layout section.

  • still counts toward page load time
  • content may still be indexed by search engines
  • any scripts within the element will continue to run

In the Layers panel, the element is marked with an “eye” icon crossed out by a single line.

Visibility (Visibility: Hidden) – the element is completely removed from the page code. This parameter can be set in the Settings tab under the Visibility section.

  • does not affect page loading speed
  • will not be indexed by search engines
  • scripts inside the element will not run

In the Layers panel, the element is marked with an “eye” icon crossed out by two lines.

Why This Feature Is Useful

  • Improved performance — reduces page weight, making the site faster.
  • Cleaner SEO — unfinished drafts and placeholders are not indexed.
  • Convenient for development — you can keep drafts and incomplete blocks without them interfering with the live site.
