derived feature in part studio, hiding derived sketches

should it not be possible to hide a derived sketch?
I have made a design for a workbench, and in this workbench a sliding end vise goes. The sliding part is made in another part studio and i have therefore derived a sketch from the main part of the bench that includes all the important dimensions. If i import a body i would be able to hide that body, but since I am only importing a sketch there is not body to hide. It would be nice it it were possible to hide a derived sketch.

This was fixed in March -- see honorable mentions in https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/3392/improvements-to-onshape-march-7th-2016
This may be fixed on the web version, but it's definitely not fixed in the Android app.
At least not the Mate Connector related problem.
I just verified that it works for me in Chrome -- In https://cad.onshape.com/documents/cf8032037924e2bd1f5b2c29/w/7174fe1c36a67fc9ef551e02/e/330247424a999e19ff8e4701
When you hover over the "derived" feature an eye appears next to it that hides the mate connector.
If this is not working for you, please file a support ticket -- it may be a browser problem or a strange case we're not handling (or I may have misunderstood what you mean by "mate connector related problem".
I meant an option in the right-click-menu like for normal parts/planes/sketches/mate connectors.
That is missing for derived mate connectors, see screenshot.
You have to hide derived part from the part list.
Yes,hiding derived sketches,mates by right click option will be handy.
Is there any resolution to this problem OnShape?
Hiding the derive "feature" works to hide all of it (except parts/surfaces) but it would still be useful to be able to toggle the individual "components" (i.e. sketches, mate connectors, etc...) contained within a derived, especially considering the performance impact of doing several "derive" to break it up.
This would require being able to "expand" the derive to see the individual derived items.
