Google Docs – How to Hide Text in Google Docs

google docs

I would like to share a Google Docs to other people but certain sections in the document are not complete, so I would like to hide them such that when they view or even edit the document they cannot see the sections.

Creating a copy of the entire document is cumbersome so that is not what I'm after.

This is possible from within Google Docs?

Best Answer

Short Answer

At this time Google documents do not have a way to hide content.

Alternatives

An alternative is to publish to the web the document before you start to work in the sections that want to hide.

Another alternative is create a copy of the document and remove the content to share, then share the copy instead of the original.
