Hiding and showing images and property items

In the leftmost pane of the Project Overview window, you can hide or show the photos in your project, and hide or show the property items of each; namely, labels, the image center, footprints, the image content, ground control points, check points, tie points, and point IDs.

Hiding images and their properties can help to declutter the display. This is useful especially when working on a large, complex project.

By default, the Project Overview window displays a collapsed view of the images in the leftmost pane of your project .
