Tip 

Hide unused fields rather than trashing them. Use this tool to experiment with your designs.  Hide fields you decide not to use.  If you change your mind later, you don't have to start from scratch.  
Examples
  1. Hide FAQs for that are not relevant for your community rather than trashing them.  The FAQ may be relevant in the future.  
  2. Hide seasonal messages or buttons.  If you have a 4th of July party, hide the fields after July 4th.  Then shows them again next year.
