Can I hide a section without deleting it?

Manage your sections temporarily without risking content loss

Key points • A section can be hidden without being deleted • The Editor sometimes allows hiding simple blocks • The Designer offers complete control to hide any section • Hiding a section is ideal for temporary offers or testing

Hiding a section without deleting it is extremely useful on a hotel website: expired offers, temporary announcements, seasonal content, or information that is temporarily irrelevant. The good news: yes, you can hide a section while keeping it within your site structure, provided you use the correct method based on your access level.

Here's how to do it properly and safely.

Hide a section from the Editor (if the option exists)

In some sites, certain dynamic areas (CMS) can be hidden via the Editor.

This works for: • CMS blocks (offers, events, news) • Items in a dynamic list • Conditional content

Procedure :

  1. Open your published website.
  2. Click on Login to access the Editor.
  3. Open the CMS element you wish to hide.
  4. Search for a field such as: • “Show / hide” • “Active / inactive” • “Published / unpublished” • “Status”
  5. Disable the item.
  6. Publish.

💡 This solution is ideal for temporarily hiding an offer without changing the layout.

Hiding a section from the Designer (most common method)

To hide an entire section of the page (secondary header, text block, promo banner, gallery…), you must use the Designer.

Procedure :

  1. Open the Designer.
  2. Select the section you wish to hide.
  3. In the style settings, open the Layout tab.
  4. Change the Display property to: • none → the section becomes invisible but remains within the structure
  5. Publish the website.

Your section remains on the page, ready to be reactivated at any time.

💡 You can also hide the section only on one type of device (desktop, tablet, mobile) using the visibility icons.

Hide a section only on mobile

If a block works fine on a computer but breaks the mobile display:

  1. Select the section in the Designer.
  2. Switch to mobile mode.
  3. Disable mobile display using the corresponding "eye" icons.
  4. Publish.

This method allows you to keep a version adapted to each device without deleting the content.

Hide a temporary section for a marketing campaign

The sections for offers, promotions, or events can be: • hidden during the off-season • reactivated during a specific period • modified and reused later

Tip: Add an internal note in the Designer to remember how to use it.

Things you should never do

To avoid common mistakes: • Don't delete a section if you plan to reuse it. • Don't hide a section that contains a crucial link (e.g., a "Book Now" CTA). • Don't hide a section without verifying its behavior on both mobile and desktop. • Don't hide a global area (menu, footer) without technical validation.

Check the display before publishing

After hiding the section: • Test the page in private browsing mode • Check on mobile and desktop • Confirm that the layout remains balanced • Ensure that no excessive empty space remains

If a gap appears, adjust the margins or paddings in the Designer.

Conclusion

Yes, it's perfectly possible to hide a section without deleting it. Depending on your hotel website's structure, the Editor can hide dynamic content, while the Designer gives you complete control over the display of any section. This flexibility allows you to easily manage your promotions, seasonal pages, and temporary content.
