 * This is a small, but annoying issue. The controls for visibility (in the block
   editor side panel) doesn’t collapse. Any other panel in the sidebar has a caret
   where you can collapse it, but this only has an icon for extra settings.

 * As I don’t need to change visibility in 95 percent of the cases, it would be 
   nice if I could hide it.
 * Can you fix this in the next update?

 * Hi [@audunmb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/audunmb/),
 * Thanks for reaching out. I am hesitant to add this functionality since the current
   implementation matches Core panels that support adding additional functionality.
   The Typography or Dimension panels on most Core blocks are good examples.
 * That said, you can disable all default controls in the plugin settings.

 * That way, the Visibility panel will be empty until the user explicitly adds a
   Visibility condition with the “+” icon.

 * Hope that helps.
 * Best, 
   Nick
