Just what the title says.
My org files often have large prefaces (area containing #+TAGS:, #+STARTUP, etc.) and would like to keep it folded most of the times.
How do I achieve this?

Consider to keep the items in a drawer. – Marco Wahl May 11 '18 at 14:33

2@MarcoWahl -- do you have a link to any documentation to support the proposition that these types of in-buffer settings will work if they are stored in a drawer?: orgmode.org/manual/In_002dbuffer-settings.html – lawlist May 11 '18 at 14:56

@lawlist -- Could not find a reference in the documentation. So this proposition obeys the rules. ;) Looks like regexp patterns are used to find the settings. So you could write them also e.g. at the bottom or see the answer of Konstantin Morenko for another idea. – Marco Wahl May 12 '18 at 7:18

I use in my files special heading, for example Settings and hide all the in-buffer settings there. It works very well even in the beginning and in the end of the file.
If you use Global Cycling (S-Tab), a text in this heading will be showed at third stage. I don't know how to prevent this when using Global Cycling, but with Local Cycling (Tab on headings) it works very well.

1I figured that
#+BEGIN_PREFACE ... #+END_PREFACEwill also work. :) But yours is an easier approach – deshmukh May 12 '18 at 10:16
