Manage Container Visibility

This guide shows you how to manage container visibility in QuoteCloud documents, allowing you to show or hide content blocks based on conditions or user roles.

Manage container visibility

  1. Hide containers or content blocks from recipients.
  2. Show hidden content again whenever needed.

Control content visibility for recipients

1

Understand container controls

Container visibility settings allow you to control whether specific content is visible to document recipients.

This is useful when preparing internal notes, draft content, or optional sections that should not appear in the final shared document.

2

Select the content block

Right-click on the content block or container you want to manage.

In this example, a Text Block inside a container row is being edited.

3

Hide the container from recipients

From the context menu, navigate to Container → Hide from recipient.

The selected content will immediately be hidden from anyone viewing the document as a recipient.

4

Identify hidden content

A vertical grey line will appear on the right-hand side of the hidden content block.

This visual indicator confirms that the block is currently hidden from recipients.

5

Show the content again

To make the content visible again, right-click on the block once more.

Open the same container controls used previously.

6

Restore recipient visibility

From the context menu, select Container → Show to recipient.

The hidden state will be removed and the content will become visible again in recipient view.

7

Confirm the content is visible

Once restored, the grey visibility indicator will disappear from the content block.

The content is now fully visible to document recipients again.

Finished

You can now hide, show, and manage container visibility inside your documents.

Use visibility controls to prepare cleaner client-facing documents while keeping optional or internal content available during editing.
