Show or Hide Canvas Notes for Consumers

When you configure the presentation settings for a workbook, by default all canvas notes are displayed for consumers. You can use the Active Canvas tab to specify which canvas notes to hide or show.

If you choose to leave some or all notes displayed for a canvas, then when you preview the workbook, you can click the Hide Notes workbook header button to turn off or on all notes that aren't hidden. Or, when consumers view the workbook, they can click the Hide Notes header button to turn off or on all notes that aren't hidden. See Show or Hide a Visualization's Notes.

Any notes that you hide or show using the presentation settings are saved to the consumer view of the canvas and not to the canvas in the workbook editor.

1. On your home page, hover over a workbook, click Actions, and select Open.
2. From the Preview menu , select Configure Presentation.
3. If the workbook contains more than one canvas, then go to the bottom of the page and click the canvas where you want to show or hide notes.
4. In the presentation settings panel, click the Active Canvas tab.
5. Scroll to the Notes section and deselect the notes that you want to hide, or select the notes that you want to display on the canvas.
