You can use the Filmstrip to show and hide slides in your project using the following steps:
- Make sure you are still in the Chapter04/takeTheTrain.cptx file.
- In the Filmstrip, right-click slide 2 and select Hide Slide in the contextual menu. The context menu also shows you the keyboard shortcut for this operation (command + Shift + H on Mac or Ctrl + Shift + H on Windows).
Hidden slides are dimmed in the Filmstrip, and an eye icon appears just below the hidden slide, as shown in the following screenshot:

A hidden slide is still part of the project, but it is not displayed to the student taking the course.
- Use the Filmstrip to return to slide 1 of the Chapter04/takeTheTrain.cptx file.
- From there, use the Preview | Next 5 slides icon to preview your sequence in the Preview pane of Captivate.
- Confirm that the second slide is no longer displayed in the Preview pane (that is, Captivate jumps from slide 1 directly to slide 3).
