Hide/Unhide Measurement

Hiding and unhiding measurements can help manage the visibility of specific elements on your plans without deleting them. You can hide measurements to temporarily remove them from view without deleting the data. This feature is useful for decluttering your workspace or focusing on specific parts of your plan. You can unhide these measurements whenever you need to view them again. Follow these steps to hide and unhide measurements effectively.
