Working with a Portion of an Outline
 
Use Cell → Hoist to work with just a portion of a large outline.  Hoisting hides all cells except the selected cell and its descendants.
 


When you hoist, ellipses indicate that some of the page’s cells are not visible.



You can hoist multiple times within the same page.  Cell → Unhoist undoes the most-recent hoist, and Cell → Unhoist All restores all cells to view.
 
 
 
By The Way

Why did we name this command “hoist?”  We didn’t — it’s a term coined back when outlining applications were first written.
