# Customize visible columns

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

## Open property visibility

#### Click Toggle columns

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

#### Review Shown and Hidden sections

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

#### Show or hide columns

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

#### 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 such as Slug, Publish State, Status, Published, Updated, Created, Archive, Draft, and Item ID
* Collection schema fields configured as table columns

**Item ID**, **Archive**, and **Draft** are hidden by default. Show **Item ID** when you need to copy an item's Webflow identifier or [filter by it](/filter-items).

## 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 by dragging them in **Shown in table**
* Newly loaded columns appear in their default position without changing the order of columns you already arranged
* Column visibility applies to the current collection and is remembered for your session

If data looks stale after changing columns, use [Reload items](/reload-items) to fetch the latest from Webflow.
