 ## Advanced usage and customization
 
+### Hiding columns on small screens
+
+You can hide columns on small screens by means of custom CSS rules:
+
+```css
+@media all and (max-width: 768px) {
+
+    alfresco-document-list >>> th.desktop-only .cell-value {
+        display: none;
+    }
+
+    alfresco-document-list >>> td.desktop-only .cell-value {
+        display: none;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Now you can declare columns and assign `desktop-only` class where needed:
+
+```html
+<alfresco-document-list ...>
+    <content-columns>
+        
+        <!-- always visible columns -->
+        
+        <content-column source="$thumbnail" type="image"></content-column>
+        <content-column 
+                title="Name" 
+                source="name" 
+                class="full-width name-column">
+        </content-column>
+        
+        <!-- desktop-only columns -->
+        
+        <content-column
+                title="Created by"
+                source="createdByUser.displayName"
+                class="desktop-only">
+        </content-column>

+                class="desktop-only">
