How do I hide apps on Apex Launcher?

I'm curious about how to keep my apps organized and private on my Android device using Apex Launcher. Can you guide me through the steps to hide specific apps from my home screen and app drawer? I'd like to know if there's a built-in feature or if I need to download an additional plugin to achieve this. Additionally, I'm interested in understanding if there are any security implications I should be aware of when hiding apps in this manner.
