Controlling the Visibility of Guide with View Threshold

Ruler Guides have a property called View Threshold, that can help you see an uncluttered view of your pages when you’re zoomed out to a low level of magnification. When you’re looking at your document at a zoom level below the threshold, the guide is not displayed. The default threshold is 5%, which also happens to be the lowest level of magnification you can have in InDesign. So by default, your guides will never disappear.



But if you want to take advantage of the feature, choose Layout > Ruler Guides, and increase the threshold value. For example, if you want new guides to only display when you’re zoomed in greater than 100%, set the View Threshold to 101%.



You can also change the View Threshold for existing guides by selecting them, right-clicking, and choosing Ruler Guides from the contextual menu.
