**PARAGRAPH ConfigType**

If you want to show or hide an entire paragraph in your document. This can be done via a PARAGRAPH ConfigType. It will use the setup as if you want to repeat a paragraph but in most cases you want to use a SINGLE DataSource to decide to Show or Hide the paragraph.

1. Create PARAGRAPH ConfigType
   1. Link SINGLE DataSource
   2. Choose the MergeField
   3. Add Criteria that decides to Show or Hide the paragraph
2. If you want to use the MergeField for a SINGLE, TEXT_AREA or RICH_TEXT ConfigType. Add the ConfigType as a child to the PARAGRAPH ConfigType. This way you can re-use the MergeField for both ConfigTypes
