Showing and hiding site map files

You can modify the layout of the site map to show or hide hidden and dependent files. This is useful when you want to emphasize key topics or content and de-emphasize less important material.

To hide a file using the site map, you must first mark it as hidden. When you hide a file, its links are also hidden. When you display a file marked as hidden, the icon and its links are visible in the site map, but the names appear in italics.

To mark files as hidden:

1	In the site map, select one or more files.
2	Choose View > Show/Hide Link (Windows) or Site > Site Map View > Show/Hide Link (Macintosh).

To show or hide files marked as hidden, do one of the following:

	Choose View > Show Files Marked as Hidden (Windows) or Site > Site Map View > Show Files Marked as Hidden (Macintosh).
	Choose View > Layout (Windows) or Site > Site Map View > Layout (Macintosh) to open the Site Definition dialog box, and select the Display Files Marked as Hidden option.

By default, dependent files are already hidden. You can choose whether to show them in the site map.

To show dependent files, do one of the following:

	Choose View > Show Dependent Files (Windows) or Site > Site Map View > Show Dependent Files (Macintosh).
	Choose View > Layout (Windows) or Site > Site Map View > Layout (Macintosh) to open the Site Definition dialog box, and select the Display Dependent Files option.

To unmark files marked as hidden:

1	In the site map, select one or more files.
2	Choose View > Show Files Marked as Hidden (Windows) or Site > Site Map View > Show Files Marked as Hidden (Macintosh).
3	Choose View > Show/Hide Link (Windows) or Site > Site Map View > Show/Hide Link (Macintosh).
