Exclude a page from the navigation menu

When you add a Navigation menu to a page, it will by default display as many items as they are pages in your site. However, you may want to hide some of the pages from the navigation menu. For example, when you created a static home page, or when you have form pages that visitors only need to see when they click a link. You can hide a page using the custom navigation filters or create a new navigation filter.

Hide a page using a navigation filter

SitecoreAI comes with navigation filters. You can use these existing filters to hide a page from the navigation menu.

In the following procedure, the navigation component is used on a page that uses main navigation, and one of the page it shows is the Form page.
