Introduction
Hiding tabs and properties allows each contributor to focus on the information that is most relevant to their role, helping to streamline everyday tasks.
The configuration is stored per content type and can be changed at any time.
Steps
Follow these steps to customize the form to your needs:
-
Open a content item of the content type you want to customize. For example, choose a Homepage if you want to configure Pages.
-
Click the menu item (1) that shows the content type’s icon and name. This expands the menu.
-
Select Configure Form.

This opens a dialog structured the same way as the tabs and properties of the content item itself.
-
You can show or hide complete tabs, property groups, or individual properties.
-
A blue badge on a tab header indicates that the tab contains hidden elements.

Deselect the checkbox for each property or tab you want to hide, or select it again to make it reappear. Click Select All to restore all items in the tab you are currently viewing. By default, all properties are shown.
You can apply these steps to any content type. Once a content type is configured, all other content items of the same type automatically adopt the same configuration.

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