The Trakt service offers the ability to monitor television shows and movies, marking episodes as watched. Functionality also exists to deliberately conceal shows from appearing in progress tracking. This concealment feature, often implemented to exclude shows no longer of interest or those that have been watched outside of Trakt’s tracking system, prevents their episodes from being included in the user’s overall progress summaries and watchlists. Users may, at times, need to view or manage these hidden shows.
The capability to hide shows from progress tracking offers several advantages. It promotes a cleaner, more relevant progress overview, focusing on shows the user actively follows. Historically, the lack of such a feature led to cluttered dashboards and inaccurate completion statistics. Being able to access and manage these hidden shows allows users to rectify unintentional hiding, revisit previously concealed content, or modify their tracking preferences, thereby enhancing the overall user experience. This provides better data control.
