+### Hide Column From Show Hide Menu
+
+> New in v2.3.0
+
+By default, all columns are visible in the column show hide menu that is opened from the columns button in the toolbar internal actions button. You can hide a column from this menu by setting the `visibleInShowHideMenu` column option to `false`.
+
+```jsx
+const columns = [
+  {
+    accessorKey: 'uuid',
+    header: 'UUID',
+    visibleInShowHideMenu: false, //hide this column from the show hide menu, but still show the column in the table
+  },
+];
+
+const table = useMaterialReactTable({
+  columns,
+  data,
+  displayColumnDefOptions: {
+    'mrt-row-actions': {
+      visibleInShowHideMenu: false, //hide the built-in row actions column from the show hide menu
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Custom Columns Menu
+
+The `MRT_ShowHideColumnsMenu` component is one of the few MRT components that is pretty opinionated and not easily customizable. Instead of trying to customize the menu with overrides, it might be easier for you to just build your own new button and menu from scratch using the Table and Column Instance APIs.
+
+Adding your own Toolbar Buttons is covered in the [Toolbar Guide](/docs/guides/toolbar-customization#customize-built-in-internal-toolbar-button-area)
+
+If all you want to do is customize the buttons above the columns menu, you can import and use the `MRT_ShowHideColumnsMenuItems` component from material react table, which is a component that renders the columns in the list with the toggle switches, but then render your own buttons in the top or bottom of the menu itself.
