It is not necessary to delete map elements that you do not want shown on your map. Instead, you can use the Show/Hide command to hide elements or topics in Map View.
This can be convenient when you add information that is for your own reference and you want to print or distribute the map or use it in a presentation.
Note that Presentation Mode has its own Show/Hide command.
To show or hide a particular class of map elements:
Click View - Show / Hide and choose the element you want to show or hide (including the revision number and date on the central topic).
Note: The command applies to the entire map.
Hint: use the Filter commands to show or hide groups of selected topics or objects.
