Hi Cindy,

Great catch on the “Hide space” toggle under the space settings! That’s the right first step to make a space invisible without deleting it.

To recap: how to hide a space (from members):

Go to Menu › Administration › Design Studio › Collections and Spaces
Expand your Collection and select the Space
Click the gear icon to open space settings
Toggle “Make Private” → then toggle “Hide space”

This keeps the space hidden from non-admins while still letting you access and edit it behind the scenes.

To hide the space from the sidebar (Collections Menu):

Go to Menu › Administration › Design Studio › Header and Sidebar
Click on Collections Menu
You’ll see a list of all your collections with toggle switches beside each one
Turning off the toggle will hide that entire collection (including all spaces inside it) from the sidebar
If you only want to hide a specific space, but not the others in the same collection:
- Move the space into its own dedicated collection
- Then, toggle that new collection off (using the steps mentioned above)
  → This avoids hiding spaces that should remain visible

You can also reorder collections using the drag handles if you’re doing layout cleanup or staging content temporarily.

I also put together a short walkthrough video that covers this process and a few related tips like adding Quick Links and organizing the sidebar:
