Hidden Pages

A hidden page is a page that can not be seen in the index by the readers unless if you provide a direct URL for it, or the reader reaches it through a link in the documentation.

A page that is hidden does not show in search results and is not indexable by search engines. If a parent page is hidden, then all of its child pages are too.

When a reader accesses a URL of a hidden page, the page will show in the index and continue showing for that session.

Why to hide a page?

There are a few reasons why you might want to hide a page:

  • Get external feedback before publishing the page.
  • Contents are not for everyone. Might be an advanced topic which you only want to share with a few people.

Do not share sensitive or confidential information in a hidden page. Use Custom Login for securing documentation.
