Hidden Pages

A hidden page is a page that can not be seen in the index by the reader unless 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. When a parent page is hidden, so are all of its associated child pages.

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

Why hide a page?

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