## Overview

SuperPath ships with a set of built-in platform categories to help you get started. If you would rather your Library showed only the categories your own organisation has created, **Hide All** lets you hide every platform category in one step instead of hiding them one at a time. Your custom categories are left untouched and stay visible.

Use it when you want your Library organised entirely around your own category structure.

## How to hide all platform categories

1. Go to **Settings → Library** and scroll to the **Manage Categories** section.
2. Click **Hide All**.

3. A confirmation window titled **Hide All Platform Categories** appears, warning that this will also hide all of the associated sub-categories and topics.
4. Click **Hide** to confirm.

Once every platform category is hidden, the **Hide All** button no longer appears.

> **Note:** **Hide All** only hides the built-in platform categories. Any categories your own account has created stay visible. To bring platform categories back, show them individually from the Manage Categories list.

## Things to keep in mind

* **Hide All** affects only SuperPath's built-in platform categories. Your custom categories are not hidden.
* This is a bulk version of hiding a single category — it hides each platform category, along with its sub categories and topics.
* Nothing is deleted and no content is removed; the platform categories are simply hidden from the Library.
* The **Hide All** button disappears once all platform categories are already hidden. To reverse it, show the categories one at a time using the eye-slash icon in the list.

## FAQs

**Does Hide All hide my own custom categories too?**
No. It only hides the built-in platform categories. Any categories your account created remain visible.

**How is Hide All different from hiding a single category?**
Hiding a single category uses the eye icon on one row. **Hide All** is a shortcut that hides every platform category at once — it does not touch your custom categories.

**How do I bring the platform categories back?**
Show them individually from the Manage Categories list by clicking the eye-slash icon on each hidden category. There is no single "show all" button.

## Who can do this

**Owners** and **Admins** can hide all platform categories. **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot — this requires access to Settings and the permission to update your account's settings, which only Owners and Admins have.
