Control which properties appear as columns in the items table using the Property visibility panel.

Property visibility panel

Open property visibility

1

Click Toggle columns

In the collection toolbar, click the pin/columns button (Toggle columns).

2

Review Shown and Hidden sections

The Property visibility panel opens with two sections: Shown in table and Hidden in table.

3

Show or hide columns

Click a property to move it between sections, or use Show all / Hide all to bulk toggle.

4

Reorder columns

Drag properties within Shown in table to change column order in the items table.

Search properties

Use Search for a property… to quickly find a field in long collection schemas.

Name column is always visible

The Name column cannot be hidden. It always appears as the first column with the OPEN button.

Default and schema columns

In addition to Name, you can show or hide:

  • Metadata columns (Slug, Publish State, Status, Published, Updated, Created, Archive, Draft)
  • Collection schema fields configured as table columns

Close the panel

Click Close property visibility or click Toggle columns again to close the panel.

Tips

  • Hide infrequently used schema fields to reduce clutter
  • Put the columns you reference most often near the left (after Name) by dragging them in Shown in table
  • Column visibility applies to the current collection and is remembered for your session
