Hidden tools display for instructors and site administrators in italics, in light gray, with an eyeball with a slash icon. In the example pictured above, the instructor sees several hidden tools, while students do not.
Show a currently hidden tool to site participants.

Lock access to a tool.

Tools can be locked so students or site members cannot access ANY content in the tool.

However, the lock icon will not display on the site's Tool Menu.
