# isHidden

Determines whether an item is visible in the toolbar.

```
var isHidden: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

The item will still be visible in the customization panel. Because hidden items may be visible during user customization, use the `visible` property to determine if an item is currently displayed. Note that even hidden toolbar items are sync’d to other toolbars with a shared identifier, but its `hidden` state can be unique to each instance. Use this property to show a toolbar item in one toolbar instance but not another.
