The Widget appears in the lower right-hand corner, with the title ‘Inline Manual’. It provides a menu of content, such as a list of Walkthroughs or Articles. However, if you want to hide the Widget from your application, you can do it with a few clicks. Note that it won’t remove the Inline Manual player from your site. Automation and Analytics will still work.


In this article, we’ll show you how to hide the Widget.


Hiding the Widget from all pages


  1. From the Inline Manual portal, go to the Sites tab and choose the Site in which you want to hide the Widget.


  1. Go to the Widget tab. Then go to Settings.


  1. Go to the Widget button tab and choose Hidden.


  1. Confirm with Save and Publish button.

Hiding the Widget on mobile


  1. From the Inline Manual portal, go to the Sites tab and choose the Site in which you want to hide the Widget on mobile.


  2. Go to the Widget tab. Then go to Settings.



  3. Go to the Widget button tab and toggle Hide on mobile devices.


  4. Confirm with Save and Publish button.

Display Widget based on rules


  1. From the Inline Manual portal, go to the Sites tab and choose the Site in which you want to display the Widget based on rules.


  2. Go to the Widget tab. Then go to Settings.



  3. Go to the Widget button tab and choose Visibility based on rules. You'll see an option to add parameters in the same way you would when building a Segment. This way, you can display a Widget only to a specific group of users.


  4. Confirm with Save and Publish button.


Conditionally hiding the Widget via CSS


If you want to hide the Widget on specific pages, you can use a CSS code:


.inmplayer-trigger { display: none; }


Your application might have a specific class in the body tag, for example:


<body class="page-frontpage">


Then, if you want to hide the widget only on the front page, you could use the following:


.page-frontpage .inmplayer-trigger { display: none; }


You can paste the code under your Site settings > Player appearance > CSS tab or include it as part of your application.



Conditionally hiding the Widget via JavaScript


Using the setOptions method, you can set whether the player Widget will be shown or not:


inline_manual_player.setOptions({hide_trigger: true})


You can set it to be hidden by default (at Widget > Settings > Widget button) and set the hide_trigger to false instead.
