Unpublish or Hide a Web Page

You can "hide" a web page from public view and still have the page available for you to edit by using either of the 2 methods below:

 

1)    Hide Web Page in Navigation: 

On the Page List, you will see a checkbox (highlighted in yellow below). By default, this "Visible In Navigation" box is checked.  If you uncheck the box > then click the "Update" button, the page that is selected in the left column of the Page List (in this example, the page named "Site Navigation") will no longer be displayed in the menu links on your website.

 

 

Please Note: The hidden page is still available to the public if they have bookmarked this page previously. This feature only removes the name of the page from the menu links. 

 

 

 

 

 

2)    Unpublish a Web Page: 

The second option for "hiding" a page on your website is the "Un-Publish" button.  The "Un-Publish" button is found on the bottom row of the 8 button toolbar when in edit mode (highlighted in yellow below):

 

 

 

The "Un-Publish" button can be used on most (but not all) web pages, depending on the page type being used.  An Un-Published web page can not be viewed by the public, even if they have it bookmarked in the Favorites.  It can only be viewed by a web administrator when logged in to the site.
