How to hide pages in your Newsroom or archive

Preventing pages from appearing in your Newsroom, sitemap or feed

It was already possible to configure exclude tags to prevent pages from showing up in a Headlines or News Carousel module. Now, these options have been expanded to make sure a published article is hidden from the Newsroom front page, archive pages, the XML feed of the newsroom, the search results, the sitemap of the newsroom, or a combination of all these.

A possible use case is a published article that's under embargo. It's now possible to hide this article in the Newsroom as well so unauthorized viewers will never realize it's there at all. No exclude tags needed.

Another use case would be to create a RSS feed from published articles that don't necessarily need to be visible on the newsroom as such. For example: calendar events. You could create a separate article for every event and hide these from the newsroom and archive, but not from the XML feed. This XML feed can then be used elsewhere, such as an external 'events' page.

To change the publication settings of an article, go to 'Publish Options' in the sidebar:

The publication settings are on the right side:

By default, all checkboxes are enabled, which means that the article will be visible on the Newsroom, in archive pages, feeds, search results and the sitemap. You can uncheck one, some or all of these options depending on your requirements. Click the 'Save' button on the bottom of the page to save your settings.

Finally, you can also add 'noindex' and 'nofollow' meta tags to this specific article.
