Hide Pages
Overview
Knapsack enables workspace administrators to mark certain pages or sections as "hidden," which prevents them from appearing in the navigation for Viewer users or non-logged-in users visiting a public workspace (or when viewing the workspace in Preview mode).
Hidden pages will be denoted to Editors and Admins with lighter color text within the navigation (see GIF below)
NOTE: Hidden pages are still accessible via direct link to any user with access to the workspace in general.
Use Cases
- Admin / Editor-facing content not relevant to general visitors
- In-progress components and content that are not yet ready for general access
- Experimental components and resources that need to be shared selectively
- Team-specific components and subsections
Implementation
Setup via the Web UI
To toggle a page's visibility:
- Click on the ••• button next to the page within a menu
- Select "Hide page" or "Show page"
Setup via Local Development
Pages and Groups can be hidden by editing the knapsack.navs.json file directly.
To mark any page or group as hidden, add the following property to the nav item in the JSON:
"hidden": true
NOTE: When marking any parent item as hidden, all children will also be set to hidden by default.
