# Hiding slides

Captivate allows you to hide an individual slide in a movie—the slide stays in the movie, but is hidden from view when the movie is played. This option is useful in several situations, such as if others are reviewing the movie, but information on certain slides is changing so you want to hide the slides until they are correct.

You can hide a slide through slide properties. Also, when publishing handouts you can choose whether or not to include hidden slides.

#### To hide a slide through slide properties:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. Right-click on a slide and select Hide Slide.

The slide is dimmed in Storyboard view.

#### To include or exclude hidden slides when publishing handouts:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. From the File menu, select Publish.

3. Select Handouts.

4. In Layout options, select Export hidden slides. (If a green check mark appears next to Export hidden slides, the hidden slides are included in the Word document—remove the check mark to exclude the hidden slides from the handouts.)

5. Click Publish.
