Hide when publishing option

I am unable to find the “Hide when Publishing” option when I right-click on the main component. Is it removed, or am I looking in the wrong place?

Hi! 👋

Thanks for reaching out about this!

I checked on my end as well, and I also do not see the Hide when Publishing option in the right-click menu anymore.

However, an easy way to hide a component from publishing is simply to add a period . or an underscore _ at the beginning of its name, for example .Avatar as shown in my screenshot below:

Once you prefix the name, it will automatically be moved to the Hidden section in the publish dialog and will not be published to your team library:

Hopefully, this helps you set it up easily! 😊
