Hiding an animal takes it off your visitor guide without deleting anything. You can show it again whenever you like.

Steps

1. 1

   In the sidebar, under Content, click Exhibits & Objects.

   

2. 2

   Click the row of the exhibit the animal lives in. Its animals and objects open.

   

3. 3

   Find the animal, and in its Visibility column choose Hidden. It saves straight away.

   TipTo show the animal again, choose Visible.

   

Another way

• While you're editing an animal, tick Hide from visitors, then click Save & publish.

Good to know

• To hide a whole exhibit, for example while a tank is closed for works, set its Status to Hidden in the exhibit list.
• An animal saved with Save as draft also stays hidden until you publish it.
