In Snowsight, managing dashboard layouts requires an understanding of how tiles (queries or visualizations) are stored versus how they are displayed. When an analyst wants to remove a tile from the visible dashboard grid without destroying the underlying query logic or historical configuration, the Unplace action is the correct functional choice.

When a tile is unplaced, it is removed from the dashboard's active layout but remains part of the dashboard's "library" of available content. This is a critical distinction from the Delete action (Option C), which permanently removes the tile and its associated SQL code from the dashboard object. Unplacing allows the analyst to "archive" the work temporarily. Because the tile still technically exists within the dashboard's metadata, any new data added to the underlying tables will still be processed by the query whenever the tile is eventually placed back onto the grid.

Evaluating the Options:

Option A (Show/Hide) is not a standard standalone command for dashboard tile management in Snowsight; visibility is typically managed through placement on the grid.

Option B (Duplicate) creates a second copy of the tile. While this preserves the data, it does not satisfy the requirement to "hide" the current tile; it actually adds more clutter to the dashboard.

Option C (Delete) is incorrect because the prompt specifies that the data and tile will need to be available in the future. Deleting would require the analyst to rewrite the SQL and reconfigure the visualization from scratch.

Option D is the 100% correct answer. Unplacing is the "soft-remove" feature of Snowsight. It preserves the tile in the "Unplaced Tiles" sidebar, allowing for quick restoration at a later date. This feature is essential for analysts who need to manage evolving reporting requirements where certain metrics may only be relevant seasonally or during specific business cycles.
