I introduce zone visibility in Tableau, a feature that lets you hide and show sheets and entire containers on your dashboard. I explain how it's driven by a parameter and how pairing it with parameter actions enables sections to show and hide based on what a user selects.

## Key takeaways

- Zone visibility can hide and show not just individual sheets but whole containers, letting you toggle entire dashboard sections
- The feature is controlled by a parameter to switch sections on and off
- Combining zone visibility with parameter actions lets sections appear or disappear based on user selections
