SharePoint Library "show/no show" documents

Is there a way to maintain a library of documents in SharePoint and add a "show/no show" column that then changes the view to hide documents marked "no show"?

    How about Using Views:
    In a document library, you can create views that filter out specific documents based on criteria. By setting up a view that excludes the document, users who access that view won't see the document. However, this is not a security measure, as users can change the view or search to find the document.

    Could you provide more detail about what you are trying to fix or work around?

      Thank you for the reply. You confirmed what I was thinking and that it has to be controlled through views vs being able to hide a document based on a user. Appreciate it!
