Summary

Hiding frames in Miro lets you temporarily remove sections of a board from view without deleting any content inside them. This keeps large, multi-frame boards organized and helps you or your team concentrate on the frame that matters right now.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Step 1

    Open the board with the frame you want to hide

    Navigate to the Miro board containing the frame you'd like to remove from view. Zoom out or use the frame overview to confirm which frame you're targeting, especially on boards with many overlapping sections.

  2. Step 2

    Right-click the frame's title or border

    Click directly on the frame's name label or its outer edge to select it, then right-click to open the context menu. Make sure you're clicking the frame itself and not an object inside it, or you'll open a different menu.

  3. Step 3

    Select Hide from the menu

    Choose the Hide option from the list of actions. The frame and everything inside it will disappear from the canvas immediately, though the content isn't deleted and stays saved in the board.

  4. Step 4

    Verify the frame is no longer visible

    Scroll or zoom out to confirm the frame is gone from the visible canvas. If you're working alongside a team, this is a good moment to check that the board still makes sense to collaborators viewing the same session.

  5. Step 5

    Open the Frames panel to manage hidden frames

    Click the frame icon in the left-side toolbar to open the Frames panel, which lists every frame on the board including hidden ones. This panel is the easiest way to keep track of what's currently out of view.

  6. Step 6

    Restore a hidden frame when you need it back

    From the Frames panel, click the name of any hidden frame to jump to it and make it visible again on the canvas. There's no limit to how many times you can hide and unhide a frame during a session.

  7. Step 7

    Combine hiding with presenter mode for cleaner walkthroughs

    If you're guiding others through a board, hide any frames unrelated to your current topic before switching to presenter mode so viewers only see relevant sections. This pairs well with a well-structured frame layout from the start.

Why this matters

You're running a workshop with a dozen frames and only three are relevant today. Instead of scrolling past distracting content or deleting anything, you hide the extra frames so your team's attention stays on the active work, then bring everything back once the session wraps up.

Frequently asked questions

  • Does hiding a frame delete its contents?

    No. Hiding a frame only removes it from the visible canvas. All shapes, notes, and objects inside stay fully intact and reappear exactly as they were once you unhide the frame.

  • Can viewers with view-only access hide frames?

    No. Hiding and unhiding frames requires edit permissions on the board. Someone with view-only access can see the board's current state but can't change frame visibility.

  • Is hiding a frame the same as locking it?

    No. Hiding removes a frame from view entirely, while locking keeps a frame visible but prevents it from being moved or edited. Use [locking elements](/guides/miro/lock-elements) when you want a frame seen but untouched.
