Switch a Skill Off for Now and Keep It for Later
Every skill on your actor website now has a visibility switch. Off means it disappears from your public page and stays in your record, ready to switch back on.
The three reasons people asked for this
Injury or a lapse in training. You had a solid dance credit and a knee that now disagrees. Deleting the skill loses the history. Leaving it up invites a booking you cannot take. Hiding it is the honest answer for as long as it is true.
Focus. When you are being seen for a specific kind of work, a long list of unrelated skills is noise. Some actors keep a trimmed public list during a push and switch the rest back on afterward.
Skills that are seasonal. Anything that depends on current conditioning, a current certification, or a current license.
What hidden actually means
The skill leaves your public page, your downloadable resume, and anywhere else it was appearing. Its level, category and any notes are preserved exactly. Switch it back on and it returns to the same place in the same order.
The same pattern, everywhere
This is now the standard behavior across the platform: hiding is offered before deleting, and deleting is deliberate. It applies to pages, to galleries, to credits and to skills. The reasoning is in a safer way to delete a page, and it comes down to the fact that almost every deletion on a personal site is regretted at some point.
A prompt to actually use it
Open your skills list and read it as somebody who might book you for each item tomorrow. Anything you would flinch at should be hidden or downgraded. That takes five minutes and it is the single most useful maintenance task on the whole page.
