How-to Guide

1. Turn On Auto Hide Content

Entry:

  • Option 1: Bottom Tools tab → Auto Hide Content
  • Option 2: Floating edit bar → More Actions → Auto Hide Content
  1. Select the column that you want to hide, or select any cell in that column.
  2. If you use Option 1, tap the bottom Tools tab and then tap Auto Hide Content.
  3. If you use Option 2, open the floating edit bar and tap More Actions → Auto Hide Content.
  4. After it is turned on, the content in that area is displayed as ●.
  5. The document owner, form filler, and specified users can still view the original content.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The target area displays ● instead of the original visible content.
  • Next action available: You can continue editing other parts of the sheet or reopen the feature settings.
  • No side effect: Only the display changes; the original data stays unchanged.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If you do not select the target column or cell first, the feature may not apply to the intended area.
  • Environment note: You need to work in a smart spreadsheet and have editing permission.

2. Manage Auto Hide Content

Entry: Bottom Tools tab → Auto Hide Content

  1. Select a column that already has Auto Hide Content enabled.
  2. Tap the bottom Tools tab.
  3. Tap Auto Hide Content to open the management options.
  4. If you want header rows to remain visible, set Ignore Header and enter the number of header rows that should stay visible.
  5. If you want to restore normal display, tap Turn Off Auto Hide Content.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: You can see options such as Ignore Header and Turn Off Auto Hide Content.
  • Next action available: The display updates based on the rule you choose.
  • No side effect: Turning the feature off restores display only and does not remove data.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If you do not select a column that already uses the feature, the management result may not match your expectation.
  • Environment note: After you turn the feature off, the area no longer displays ●, and all collaborators can view the content.
