- Where to find it
- Labelled Hide Collection in the Collection Settings drawer (gear in the collection header).
- Per device
- Yes — you can set one value for every screen, or separate values for phone, tablet, and desktop.
In plain English
When a collection is hidden for a device, it still appears on the editing canvas so you can keep working on it, but it is omitted in preview and on the published page for that device.
When you would use it
- A collection should appear on desktop only.
- A promotional collection should be hidden on phones.
How to change it
- Open Collection Settings from the gear, then "Hide Collection".
- Choose the same value for all resolutions, or set phone, tablet, and desktop separately.
One value, or one per device? Every input in this setting sits under a “Same value for all resolutions” checkbox. Leave it checked for a single value everywhere, or uncheck it to give phones, tablets, and desktops their own. How per-device values work.
Watch out for
- Hiding is left out on the editing canvas on purpose — if the collection disappeared while you were editing it, you would have nothing left to edit. Open Preview to confirm it is gone for the chosen widths.
- Hiding the collection hides every row, column, and component in it for that device.
- Hide Column and Hide Row only hide those smaller scopes, not the whole collection.
