# How do I stop unwanted job sections showing on my jobs?

If you're seeing extra job sections you don't use, this video will show you how to clean up your layout by hiding or disabling unnecessary sections.

When you **manage a job in Dronedesk**, everything you need is presented on a **single, unified screen**. However, if there are sections you **don’t want to appear on-screen**, or if there are sections showing up in **exports** (like job packs, RAMS, or custom exports) that you’d rather exclude, you can fully **customise these settings**.

### How to Access Job Section Settings

You can configure section visibility in two ways:

1.  Go to the **top-right menu**, click **“Settings,”** then choose **“Job Sections.”**
    
2.  Or, if you're already in a job, click the **gear icon** to go straight to the **Manage Job Sections** page.
    

### Enabling or Disabling Sections by Job Type

Dronedesk allows you to tailor section visibility based on the **type of job**—such as:

-   **Simple**
    
-   **Complex**
    
-   **Standard**
    
-   And other job types like simulation or indoor
    

To configure these:

-   Simply **tick or untick the boxes** next to each section.
    
-   For example, if you don’t want the **Operational Notes** section to appear in jobs of type **Complex**, just **untick** that option. It will then be hidden from all complex jobs across the system.
    

### Controlling Section Visibility in Exports

You can also control whether each section appears in:

-   **On-screen views**
    
-   **Job packs**
    
-   **RAMS**
    
-   **Custom exports**
    

A few key points:

-   If a section is included in any export format, it **must also appear on-screen**.
    
-   However, it’s fine to have a section **visible on-screen only** and not included in exports.
    

### Changes Apply System-Wide

Any changes you make here will apply **across all jobs** of the selected type—**both current and historic**. This ensures consistency and saves you from having to adjust visibility on a job-by-job basis.

With this flexibility, Dronedesk gives you full control over how your job data is displayed and shared.
