hide a component

[phpListDockerBot]

I had a weblate that had been badly configured a few years ago. So, there were loads of contributions, which I captured, and then re-initialised.

I uploaded the new translations back to my repository, and created a new component in Weblate, which was configured correctly.

However, to avoid confusion to my translators, I wanted to remove the old component. The only option I had was to remove, which got me to this page:

I did click "Yes, I'm sure", which as an aside took a very long time, but it would have been nicer to click something like "No, hide instead".

I would like to

1. remove it from the listing, to avoid confusion
2. keep it around, just in case I made a mistake and I need to recover some work that was done on that component

You can remove component directly in Weblate, the Django admin interface is not recommended for this. See https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/devel/translations.html#removing-existing-translations

Yes, but my point is not the removal, it's a feature request to be able to hide a component, without removing it. I've looked everywhere, but can't find it.

Not sure I get the use case here.

You can adjust permissions to achieve that - set https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/admin/projects.html#restricted-access
