Description
I'm looking at the page at https://matplotlib.org/3.1.0/gallery/user_interfaces/toolmanager_sgskip.html
The example is nice, but would be much more helpful if it came with some explanations. I'm unclear about several things. In particular: (1) When do the various methods in `GroupHideTool` get invoked? (2) What does the augmented toolbar look like? (3) What are the capabilities and limitations of the tool manager?

Research direction
Start with the toolmanager_sgskip.html gallery example linked in the issue and inspect how GroupHideTool is used. Document when its methods are invoked, show what the augmented toolbar looks like, and explain the tool manager's capabilities and limitations. Done means the example page answers all three questions clearly.
