# How do I hide labels on my map?

Kumu automatically shows the label of your element or connections on your map. If you prefer to take them out, you'll have to add a bit of code to your Advanced Editor.

## Hide element labels

To hide the element labels in your map, add the following code to your Advanced Editor:

```scss
element {
  label-visibility: hidden; 
}
```

To only change the *position* of element labels, go to [this guide](https://docs.kumu.io/frequently-asked-questions/how-do-i-change-element-text-position).

## Hide connection labels

To hide the connection labels in your map, add the following code to your Advanced Editor:

```scss
connection {
  label-visibility: hidden; 
}
```

If you'd like to refine which elements or connections to show labels for and which not, please visit our [Selectors guide](https://docs.kumu.io/guides/selectors) to change the selector to something more precise.
