I often use the “hidden” attribute, for example to not display certain texts for specific breakpoints. unfortunately, there is no fast-visible indication in edit mode that “Hide” is activated for a specific text element.

I guess you are thinking of visually representing this in the Node Tree? Perhaps by fading out any Components that have the “Hidden” control enabled? Is that the kind of thing you’re thinking about? 🙂 ---

re-hello, a small visual hint that “hidden” content has been placed would be nice. (see screenshot) like this in rw-classic. ![Bildschirmfoto 2025-05-26 um 14.16.01](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/b/5/b5d077e2398e2fa64aae8cb2699aa80023ec7c6a.jpeg) currently you can only see that “hidden” content is active in the inspector. in projects with multiple pages, it is easy to forget or overlook where you have activated hidden content. ---

Yes, please, this would be incredibly handy. Especially with the site I’m currently working on were I keep forgetting, which components are hidden. ---

I’ll add this to our list as **“something to investigate”**. I can’t say if, when, or how we’ll get to it — we’ve got a lot of other features and fixes already planned — but it’s definitely on the radar 🙂 ---

Totally agree this is an important feature. I just marked two Flex components as hidden. I can’t see them, and I can’t “Find” them. ---
