[intro] When you have completed this Guide, you will know how to hide Categories on your EKM online shop - useful for listing completely new Product lines and keeping them under wraps until their release date! [/intro]

1. From the Dashboard page, click Shop on the left-hand menu:

2. Then you need to locate the Category that you would like to hide. If it’s a Main Category, you will find it in the menu of your EKM online shop, but if it's a Subcategory, you'll need to navigate to the Main Category it's within first. Click the Edit button next to the Category’s name, and then Edit from the drop-down menu to open the Add/Edit Category window: 

3. Once you’ve opened the Add/Edit Category window, you need to click the switch on the top right-hand side to hide the Category, before clicking Save & Close:

This will hide the Category from public view. To reveal the Category again, simply follow the same procedure above and tick the box to make your Category visible again.

[remember]When a Category is hidden, it will hide anything within it, including Products and Subcategories. If you have any Products with the hidden Category set as their Master Category, these will be hidden until the Master Category is made visible again. You can read more about Category Management in this Guide.[/remember]
