Simplify

========

Simplify allows particular fields to be hidden from the user interface. This

helps to de-clutter forms and present a more user-friendly experience to content

editors.

Different types of fields can be hidden with Simplify. Currently supported field

types include:

- Nodes

- Users

- Comments

- Taxonomy

- Blocks

Fields can be hidden globally or per field type.  

Globally hidden fields are hidden from all forms of that field type (e.g. a

field can be hidden from all node forms (Pages, Articles, etc.)).  

Fields can also be hidden more specifically based on their field type:

- Node fields per content type

- Comment fields per content type

- Taxonomy fields per vocabulary

(e.g. a field can be hidden from the Article content type but still be visible

on the Page content type).
