SP2010 Branding Tip #12 – Hiding the Quick Launch at the Page Level

A question I get asked almost every week. Randy, how do I hide the Quick Launch for just one page in SharePoint 2010. The answer is simple my friends: Content Editor Web Part with some specialized CSS. Note, this code is written specifically to work with v4.master, any other master page may need different CSS code to hide the Quick Launch.

  1. Edit a page, Site Actions > Edit Page
  2. Click in a wiki text or rich text area and from the ribbon click Insert > Web Part (or add a Web Part to a Web Part zone)
  3. Under Media and Content select Content Editor and click Addimage
  4. With the new Web Part selected, from the ribbon click Format Text > HTML > Edit HTML Sourceimage
  5. Enter the following HTML / CSS and click OK

  6. Hide the Web Part chrome by selecting the Web Part and on the ribbon click Web Part Tools Options > Web Part Properties and on the right click Appearance > Chrome Type > None  and then click Ok.
  7. Save and close your page and you are done… no Quick Launch!
