Hiding Parent Blocks

When creating cards, parent blocks are shown on the front side for context. Use these tags to control their visibility.

Hide Specific Parent Block

Use #hide-when-card-parent on a parent block to hide it from the front side of cards:

• Chapter 1: Introduction #hide-when-card-parent
  • What is the capital of Japan? #card
    • Tokyo

The "Chapter 1: Introduction" block will not appear on the card's front side.

Hide All Parent Blocks

Use #hide-all-card-parent on a card to hide all its parent blocks from the front side:

• Geography
  • Asia
    • What is the capital of Japan? #card #hide-all-card-parent
      • Tokyo

Both "Geography" and "Asia" parent blocks will not appear on the card's front side.

Tips

• Use #hide-when-card-parent when organizing cards under headings you don't want shown
• Use #hide-all-card-parent when parent context isn't needed for specific cards
• Parent blocks still provide organizational structure in Logseq even when hidden in Anki
