Beamer visible for a certain number of slides

Question

I am creating a tikz picture that I want a certain component to be visible in a certain number of slides, say slides 1 and 3 only. I want the node to be invisible on page 2.

Is it possible?

I tried something like

\begin{tikzpicture}
\node (abc) [decision, align=left, visible on=<1,3>] {abc};
\node (def) [decision, right of=abc, align=left, invisible on=<2>] {def};
\end{tikzpicture}

but this does not work.

Thanks!

You can prevent the , from confusing the handler for the optional arguments by wrapping your overlay specification in {...}:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{overlay-beamer-styles}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node[align=left, visible on=<{1,3}>] (abc) at (0,0) {abc};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
