+<title>Hide a file</title>
+
+<p>You can hide files by renaming them in a special way. Hidden files are just invisible; they are not displayed in the file browser, but they are still there in the folder.</p>
+
+<p>To hide a file, <link xref="files-renaming">rename it</link> with a <quote>.</quote> at the beginning of its name. For example, to hide a file <file>example.txt</file>, you would rename it to <file>.example.txt</file>.</p>
+
+<note style="tip">
+ <p>You can hide folders in the same way that you can hide files. Rename the folder with a <quote>.</quote> at the beginning of its name.</p>
+</note>
+
+<section>
+ <title>Show all hidden files</title>
+ <p>
+ If you want to see all of the hidden files in a folder, go to that folder  and click <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show Hidden Files</gui></guiseq>. All of the hidden files will be shown, as well as the files that were not hidden.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The hidden files will have a <quote>.</quote> at the beginning of their name. Some might have a <quote>~</quote> at the end of their name instead (see <link xref="files-tilde"/>).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To hide the files again, click <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show Hidden Files</gui></guiseq> again.

+ <title>Unhide a file</title>
+ <p>
+ To unhide a file, go to the folder containing the hidden file and click <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show Hidden Files</gui></guiseq>. Then, find the hidden file and rename it so that it doesn't have a <quote>.</quote> in front of its name.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For example, to unhide a file called <file>.example.txt</file>, you would rename it to <file>example.txt</file>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Once you have renamed the file, click <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show Hidden Files</gui></guiseq> to hide any other hidden files again.
