Hide an entry

A hidden entry stays yours and stays where it is — in the sky, the list and its journals — but is kept out of the places that show your writing beyond it.

#Hide it

1. Open the entry's ⋯ menu — from a row in the list, a journal's page, or "more ⋯" on a star's card.
2. Tap "hide it · from insights, the widget, notices, the ai and the shuttle".

The line says "hidden · it stays here, and nowhere else", with "undo" — and the "undo" button at the top right offers it too, until you leave that screen. See Undo & earlier versions.

#Where a hidden entry doesn't show

• insights — never counted or shown;
• the widgets — the home-screen widget and a journal's constellation widget never draw it;
• notices — no "a year ago" notice is about it;
• the reader's subjects;
• "used before:" — the tags compose offers never include a hidden entry's;
• ask the sky — the sky can't see it, and its ⋯ menu has no "ask the sky about it";
• a journal you share — its file, its reel and its signature leave the entry and its lines out;
• the shuttle — "onto the shuttle" says "a hidden entry stays off the shuttle".

It is still in the sky, the list and its journals, and in every backup.

#Stop hiding it

Open its ⋯ menu again. The line now reads "stop hiding it". Tap it: "no longer hidden".

Only you can stop hiding an entry. Ask the sky can hide one, but never sees it again after, so un-hiding is yours alone.

#Hidden is not…

• locked — a locked journal is sealed behind a passphrase. See Close, lock & open a journal.
• put away — that moves it into the reliquary, out of the sky. See The reliquary & the burn pile.
