Hiding/revealing objects as part of a flowchart slideshow?

is there a way to build in hiding/revealing of shapes and lines in a flow chart as part of a presentation?  we’d like to present our flow chart as part of a presentation, walking the viewers through the steps, but given that there’s alot of extra data in the final overall view, we’d like to only reveal items relevant to the topic of each slide.  Short of duplicating everything into multiple slides and deleting items, is there a way to do this?  like, have a base, background chart, and then in each slide, select what’s visible and not visible?

Two ways you can do this in normal (i.e. not presentation) mode if you are sharing the Miro board via a Zoom/Teams meeting or having the participants watch the board is to either mask the portions of the flow chart which you don’t want to reveal by using an opaque rectangle the same color as the background which you progressively shrink OR to split the flow chart across multiple frames and hide each of the frames which you don’t want shown.

@qwerty12345 - Here’s @Kiron Bondale’s masking suggestion in action:

thanks for the suggestion!  that doesn’t quite help since some of the lines cross reference boxes earlier in the process so I’d have to find a way to mask just that reference.    maybe changing the layout and the next loop being off to the side with a mask there could work.  would just be much easier if we could just trigger hidden/shown on objects or groups via steps.
