Rotate, Flip, Lock, and Hide Content

To rotate content, select an object with the Selection tool. Move the pointer just off a corner, and when the rotate arrow appears, drag around the shape to rotate it.

To flip content, select the content with the Selection tool. In the Properties panel, to see more options, click More Options in the Transform section of the panel. Click Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical.

Set a reference point in the Properties panel to transform content around a point other than the center.

Temporarily locking content can prevent it from being accidentally edited. To lock content, select the content with the Selection tool and choose Object > Lock or press Control+L (Windows) or Command+L (macOS). A lock icon appears on the frame edge. To unlock an individual object, click the lock icon on the bounding box of the selected object. To unlock all locked content on a page, choose Object > Unlock All On Spread.

Hide content by selecting it with the Selection tool and choosing Object > Hide. Hidden content is not printed or exported and can’t be selected. To show content again, choose Object > Show All On Spread.
