The Differences
Learn the differences between using the hide option, making sessions private, and hiding sessions from attendees that are not allowed to the session.
Hidden Sessions
Use this option if you don't want to delete a session but don't want it to be accessible to anyone but admins.
Only admins can see it on the agenda.

To hide a session:
Go to your admin console's Agenda & Speakers tab
Click the eye icon under the Access column
When the icon turns red, that means the session is now hidden.
Private Sessions

Click the edit icon on the session.
In the session details, scroll down and click Advanced Settings

Click the edit icon on the session.
In the session details, scroll down and click Advanced Settings
