Hiding or unhiding files, folders, and folder contents
Overview
Your digital workplace provides multiple ways to limit whether files or folders are visible to others. These are useful when you want to simplify what appears in a folder or folder channel but still would like users to have access to files should they have a link or search for it.
To completely hide a file or folder from a user or group of users, ensure that they do not have access to it. For more information, see Access.
