# Hide a startwork packet

> [!NOTE]
> Startwork packets are permission based
> 
> To hide a **company-level startwork packet**, your account must have one of the following [roles](/v1/docs/roles-permissions) enabled:
> 
> - Role: *Company Admin, Company Manager*
> - Custom role with: *Worker hiring and startwork - Full access*
> 
> To hide a **project-level startwork packet**, your account must have one of the following roles enabled:
> 
> - Role: *Company Admin, Company Manager, Project Coordinator*
> - Custom role with: *Worker hiring and startwork - Full access, Project access only*

## Overview

In Wrapbook, [authorized](/v1/docs/roles-permissions) production administrators can mark [startwork packets](/v1/docs/about-startwork-packets) as *Hidden* (instead of [deleting](/v1/docs/delete-a-startwork-packet) them).

When a startwork packet is *Hidden:*

- You’ll still be able to access it from the [Startwork dashboard](/v1/docs/about-startwork-packets) *Packets* tab
- The packet will not appear as an option in dropdown menus when inviting workers to a project

### Hiding a packet at the *Company* level vs the *Project* level

#### Company-level hide

- Hides the packet **everywhere it could be used** across the company, including **all projects** (and any lower levels that inherit company packets)
- Use this when the packet is **retired globally** and should not be selectable for any project in that company

#### Project-level hide

- Hides a packet **only within that specific project context** (it will not appear as an option in the packet dropdown menu for the project)
- The same packet can still be **available in other projects**
- You can also **hide company-level packets at the project level**. When this is done, they won't appear in that project's packet dropdown, but will still be available in other projects.

Use these steps to hide a startwork packet:

2. In the left-side navigation, click **Startwork**

## How to unhide a startwork packet
