• Show on course page. Available to students (subject to any access restrictions).
• Hide on course page. Not available to students. 
• Make available but don't show on course page. Available to students if you provide a link. Activities will still appear in the gradebook and other reports. This is known in Moodle as a stealth activity. More information and an example may be found on the Moodle website.

NOTE: You may have to refresh or reload your web page (use the option in your browser) to see the grey disappear.

What about assignments?

If an assignment is hidden then students will NEITHER not see the assignment NOR nor their marks.
