How to hide web parts on Publishing pages

Problem

Enabling the Publishing feature modifies the options immediately available for web parts. For example, the web part Hide option is no longer enabled, when going to the Edit Web Part menu. 

Solution

Append the following to the page URL containing the web part you wish to hide:
?ToolPaneView=2
This opens the edit view of the page with the Hide option enabled.
