Overview
When you’re building and polishing a demo, Walnut shows small on-screen “edit indicators” to help you spot where changes have been applied (like content updates, variables, guide steps, and more). They’re useful — but when you’ve made a lot of edits, the editor can start to feel visually busy.
With Hide Edit Indicators, you can choose which indicators are visible so you can keep your workspace clean and stay focused on the final experience.
Why You’ll Love This
- Less clutter: Reduce visual noise while reviewing complex screens.
- Faster QA: Make it easier to scan layouts and polish details.
- Perfect after EditsAI: Ideal when AI has applied many changes across multiple screens.
How to Hide Edit Indicators
- Open any template.
- Select Template Settings (gear icon).
- Click the View tab.
- Under Show Edit Indicators, toggle on/off the indicator types you want to see.
Note: These settings apply only to your editor view and only in the current template. They don’t affect collaborators and won’t automatically carry over to other templates.
What Each Toggle Controls
In the View tab, you can choose which types of indicators you want visible:
- Links — Highlights link-related elements or updates.
- Content Edits — Shows indicators for manual content changes (like text edits).
- GenAI Edits — Shows indicators for AI-generated edits applied through EditsAI.
- Guide Steps — Highlights guide steps and placements on screens.
- Variables — Shows where variables are applied or referenced.
- Interactions — Highlights interactive elements and interaction-based changes.
FAQs
Will Hiding Edit Indicators Change What My Audience Sees?
- No — this setting only affects your personal view inside the editor. Your demo will look and behave exactly the same for viewers.
Can I Turn Edit Indicators Back On Later?
- Yes! This setting is completely reversible. You can show or hide edit indicators at any time while working in a template.

When Is This Most Helpful to Use?
