# Visibility

Control the visibility, without modifying the display, of elements with visibility utilities.

Set the `visibility` of elements with our visibility utilities. These do not modify the `display` value at all and are helpful for hiding content from most users, but still keeping them for screen readers.

Apply `.visible` or `.invisible` as needed.

    <div class="visible">...</div>
    <div class="invisible">...</div>

    // Class
    .visible {
      visibility: visible;
    }
    .invisible {
      visibility: hidden;
    }

    // Usage as a mixin
    .element {
      @include invisible(visible);
    }
    .element {
      @include invisible(hidden);
    }
