# visible

A Boolean value that determines whether the annotation is visible or hidden.

## Declaration

```data
get visible(): boolean;
set visible(value: boolean);
```

## Discussion

Discussion Set this property to false to temporarily hide an annotation. If there’s a dense cluster of annotations at low zoom levels, it’s good practice to hide some annotations.
