# Hiding Strokes

You can hide a group of strokes that were created from the same source clip.

Hiding strokes is useful when you need to focus on a particular component of your image: hide strokes on the canvas that do not require attention. This feature allows you to concentrate on the current stroke. It also improves the system's interactive performance.

To hide strokes on a source:

1. Select the source used to create the strokes that you want to hide.
2. In the Sources list, click Hide Strokes (H).

   A check mark appears in the H column of each source.

3. Click Hides Strokes again to make the strokes visible.
