I have played with the customizer for the first time today. I have several constants at the top of my file that are not parameters to be adjusted, they are just named constants. The documentation on the wiki says I can create a hidden tab that will stop them being displayed, but it doesn't. I just puts them on a tab named Hidden. E.g. /* [Tab Hidden] */ [image: image.png] Am I missing something?

The other thing that stops it is a module, I have used a=1; module stop() {} b=2; // b not in customizer ----- Admin - email* me if you need anything, or if I've done something stupid... * click on my MichaelAtOz label, there is a link to email me.

I mean: The documentation is not nicely worded, as it was mainly written and edited by non native speakers, but writing a clear documentation is even a challenge for native speakers. Part of the issue is surely also structurally. With Kind Regards, Michael Frey

Thanks. Both documents are misleading because they show how to create a tab with a name and then say "Three tabs names have a special functionality;" and " The following tab names are reserved for special functionality: " . So I tried [Tab Hidden] [Tab][Hidden] and [Tab [Hidden]]. It isn't a tab name at all, it is something that is not a tab. So not an English language problem, it's logically incorrect. The Thingiverse one follows it with an example, so they get away with it.
