Can I make a slide hidden in TOC when its hidden on filmstrip

So I have a project that's a training template and then a chapter each for a bunch of diff states. I want to hide all the state chapters except for one and publish it and then wash rinse repeat - It seems like common sense that if I hide it in the filmstrip that change will be echoed in the TOC - but it's not! The TOC never updates and it will continue to show hidden slides unless you uncheck manually each time. Is there a way to get the TOC to automatically update to whatever is shown on the filmstrip and not add a step each time?

Did you refresh the TOC after hiding slides?

Clicking refresh on the TOC defaults to every single slide being shown in the table of contents, including all hidden slides. I have over 70 hidden slides in 7 chapters, and while I can hide whole chapters by clicking on the group instead of individual slides in the TOC, it's time consuming to have to do this for each one and has led to mistakes at publishing where some aren't re-hidden after refreshing. I want to know if there's a way to keep hidden slides off of the TOC, after refreshing, without having to manually click them all

The best way to manage the slides that appear in the TOC is just to leave refreshing the TOC as one of the last things you do in your development cycle.

If you hide a slide in the Filmstrip it doesn't get published and therefore automatically doesn't appear on the TOC. But I think what you are saying is that you want the slide to be published but simply not get put back on the TOC when you refresh it, is that right? Unfortunately there is currently no way to do that (but feel free to request it as an enhancement if you want).

What I do is name all slides that I do NOT want to be in the TOC with a name that starts with a very identifiable previx, e.g. XXX. Then when I refresh the TOC and look at the list of slides I can very easily see the ones that need to be deselected. It only takes me a minute, and I only need to do this for a final time when doing my last-minute edits and quality checks.
