@section Visibility of completed proofs
@cindex Visibility of proofs
-Large developments may consist of large files with many proofs.
-To help see what has been proved without the detail of the
-proof itself, Proof General can hide completed proofs.

-You can toggle the visibility of a proof by using a context sensitive
-menu triggered by @b{clicking the right mouse button on a completed
-proof}, or the key @kbd{C-c v}, which runs @code{pg-toggle-visibility}.
+Large developments may consist of large files with many proofs. To help

+General can hide portions of the proof script. Two different kinds of

You can also select the ``disappearing proofs'' mode from the menu,

+@end lisp

Finally, two menu commands in the main Proof-General menu,
-@emph{Show proofs} and @emph{Hide proofs} apply to all the completed
-proofs in the buffer.
+@emph{Show all} and @emph{Hide all} apply to all the completed
+portions in the buffer.
Notice that by design, this feature only applies to completed proofs,
@emph{after} they have been processed by the proof assistant. When
