How do I hide barcode types I never use?

Updated

Answer

To hide a barcode group or type you never use in the Barcode Rocket studio, click the small eye next to it. To bring everything back, click Show all above the groups; it says how many are hidden. This works when you are signed in, and hiding never deletes anything.

Steps

  1. Sign in and open your dashboard.
  2. Find the small eye on a group or a type.
  3. Click the eye. The group or type is hidden.
  4. To bring everything back, click Show all above the groups.
The top of the dashboard: the settings gear and the History, Inbox and Sign out buttons
Step 1: When you are signed in, your dashboard has these buttons at the top.
The studio with the note To hide what you never use, click the eye on a group or a type, and the groups Books, QR code, Custom templates and More types with small eye icons
Steps 2 and 3: The eye on each group and type.
The note about the eye, the button Show all (1 hidden), and the groups Books, QR code and More types
Step 4: Show all brings back everything you hid.

Your "I am…" answer

After you sign up, the "I am…" question hides the types you probably do not need. If you answered Author / self-publisher, Book designer, Publisher / publishing house or clicked Skip, the product, carton and GS1 Composite types are hidden, and More barcode types does not appear at all. Click Show all above the groups to bring them back. You can change the answer under Your role on your account page. Saving it replaces what you hid in the studio.

More barcode types

Product, carton and GS1 Composite barcodes are under More barcode types. Click it to open them. See How do I make EAN, UPC and carton barcodes?

Why it matters

Fewer buttons, fewer wrong choices. Nothing is lost: hiding never deletes anything.
