How do you hide the "blue outlines" around objects in InDesign?

Every new object I create on an InDesign board is surrounded by a thin blue outline. I don't know what these are called as I'm a newbie so I am unable to locate instructions on how to toggle their display. I am sure there must be a way to toggle this outline off and on.

I am aware of the following keyboard shortcuts:

Ctrl + ' to display/hide the document grid
Ctrl + ; to display/hide guides

But I can't figure out how to remove the blue outlines around objects and I can't see an option under View > Grids & Guides that seems applicable.

A nice simple way to do this is to toggle between Normal View and Preview Mode by using W on the keyboard. This will also hide the bleeds, margins, and slug guides in your document. Just be careful not to Command + W as this is the Close Document shortcut.

The "blue outlines" are known as Frame Edges and visibility can be toggled using either:

Ctrl + H (on PC) or Command + Control + H (on a Mac)
View > Extras > Show/Hide Frame Edges.
