Introduction
Hiding tabs and properties allows each contributor to focus on the important information for their job – which can help to increase the efficiency of everyday tasks.
The configuration is stored per content type and can be changed at any time.
Steps
Follow these easy steps to customize the form to your needs:
-
Open a content item of the content type you want to customize. For example, you can choose the Homepage, if you want to configure Pages.
-
Click on the menu item (1) that shows the content type’s icon and name. This will expand the menu.
-
Select the option “Configure Form”.

This will open a dialog that is structured the same way as the various tabs and properties of the content item itself.
-
You can show/hide complete tabs, property groups, or individual properties.
-
The tab header’s blue badge quickly identifies tabs with hidden elements.

De-select the checkbox for each property or tab you don’t want to display or select the box if you would like to have the property or tab re-appear. Click "Select All" to restore the configuration of the tab you are currently in. By default, all properties are shown.
Remember, you can execute these steps for all content types. Once a content type is configured, other content items of the same type adopt the same configuration automatically.

You can always reset the form to its default state by clicking the menu option "Reset Configuration”:
