Hi folks, I can’t see the difference between ON/OFF status of ‘Visible’. Is it enabled in current beta release?

I want to hide an existing button for testing. Pls. refer to picture below.  
I can hide Paragraph and Section, but I can’t hide Button component.  
I created a new button still cannot hide it.

Just did a quick test on that project file if I create a new Section and put button in that I can hide the button by hiding the section but if you just want to hide the button directly your correct it does not work. I then did some other checks on other components some work and some don’t. some more detailed testing needs to be done on the current components need to be done to get a full list of those that dont work

Ah yes, that _should_ hide the component, it appears to be a bug on some of the Elements. We’ll get all these fixed up in the next beta or two!
