+### hideEmpty
+
+To keep the structure light and clean, you can hide empty properties by providing this option to the `overview` decorator.
+For example, if you do not have any decorator, the `decorators` property will not be present in the structure.
+
+The properties that can be hidden are:
+- `decorators` and/or its children
+- `hooks` and/or its children
+- `routes`
+
+You can get both the structure by calling the `overview` method twice:
+
+```js
+const fullStructure = app.overview()
+const lightStructure = app.overview({
+  hideEmpty: true, // default: false
+})
