Hiding elements

For faster mobile-friendly development, use responsive display classes for showing and hiding elements by device. Avoid creating entirely different versions of the same site, instead hide element responsively for each screen size.

Screen Size	Class
Hidden on all	`sx={{ display: 'none' }}`
Hidden only on xs	`sx={{ display: { xs: 'none', sm: 'block' } }}`
Hidden only on sm	`sx={{ display: { xs: 'block', sm: 'none', md: 'block' } }}`
Hidden only on md	`sx={{ display: { xs: 'block', md: 'none', lg: 'block' } }}`
Hidden only on lg	`sx={{ display: { xs: 'block', lg: 'none', xl: 'block' } }}`
Hidden only on xl	`sx={{ display: { xs: 'block', xl: 'none' } }}`
Visible only on xs	`sx={{ display: { xs: 'block', sm: 'none' } }}`
Visible only on sm	`sx={{ display: { xs: 'none', sm: 'block', md: 'none' } }}`
Visible only on md	`sx={{ display: { xs: 'none', md: 'block', lg: 'none' } }}`
Visible only on lg	`sx={{ display: { xs: 'none', lg: 'block', xl: 'none' } }}`
