+Ray Visibility
+--------------
+
+Objects can be set to be invisible to particular ray types.
+This can be used, for example, to make an emitting mesh invisible to camera rays.
+For instanced objects, visibility is inherited; if the parent object is hidden for some ray types,
+the children will be hidden for these too.
+
+In terms of performance, using these options is more efficient that using a shader node setup
+that achieves the same effect.
+
+.. _bpy.types.Object.visible_shadow:
+
+Shadow
+   Enables the object to cast shadows. The object will not be capture inside the shadow maps.
+
+
+Light Probes
+------------
+
+Objects can be set to not be captured by certain :doc:`light probe </render/eevee/light_probes>`.
+This can be used, for example, to avoid animated object being recorded into static light probes.
+For instanced objects, visibility is inherited; if the parent object is hidden for some ray types,
+the children will be hidden for these too.
