+[[object:volume|Volumes]] can be hidden, or removed from view, in TapeTrack TapeMaster and from Command Line programs (through flag exclusion), cleaning up [[object:volume|Volume]] display without needing to delete volumes and their associated data.
 Reasons for hiding [[object:volume|Volumes]] range from being moved permanently out of rotation, locked from movement for legal reasons or any other reason that operators do not need to see them and would prefer a cleaner display in TapeTrack TapeMaster or Command Line reports.
 Hiding [[object:volume|Volumes]] from display is a two part process:
-  * Adding the hidden Attribute (h Flag) to the required [[object:volume|Volumes]].
+  * Adding the hidden Attribute (h) Flag to the required [[object:volume|Volumes]].
-  * Removing from display via the TapeTrack TapeMaster preferences.
+  * Removing the Hidden [[object:volume|Volumes]] from display via the TapeTrack TapeMaster Preferences.
 Hiding [[object:volume|Volumes]] with the hidden Attribute from the Command Line batch programs involves adding a reference to the h flag in the [[object:volume|Volume]] filter.
