Show or Hide Content

Hide all worksheet elements of a specific type so that they are not visible in the current worksheet. This does not delete them, but hides them from view. Hidden elements are not printed or exported, but they are copied and pasted.

In a worksheet, on the View tab of the ribbon, click Contents ( ). From here you can toggle any of the buttons to show or hide:

For showing/hiding section boundaries and arrows, see Control the Display of Sections.

The settings apply only to the current worksheet.

By toggling the Input button to off, only Maple input and 2-D math are hidden. Toggling the Graphics button to off ensures that a plot, an image, or a canvas inserted in the worksheet by using the Insert menu option is also hidden.

Command Output Versus Inserted Content Output is considered an element that results from executing a command. Inserted components are not considered output. Consider the following examples: Showing a Plot Resulting from a Command The plot resulting from executing the plot(sin); command is considered output. •  To show a plot from the plot(sin); command, click both Output and Graphics buttons in the Contents group. Showing a Plot Inserted with the Insert Menu Option If you insert a plot by using Insert > Plots that plot is not considered output. Therefore, if you toggle off the Output button in the Contents group, that plot will be visible in the worksheet. •  To hide an inserted plot, toggle the Graphics button in the Contents group. Showing Inserted Images and Canvases Inserted images and canvases are not considered output. As such, they will not be hidden if you toggle the Output button. •  To hide an inserted image or canvas, toggle the Graphics button in the Contents group.
