Unlinked pages are hidden from navigation menus but remain public by default. Here's what you need to know about managing them effectively:

Key Features

• Located at the bottom of the Pages panel
• Pages can be added or dragged into this section
• Accessible via direct URL or links
• Indexable by search engines unless hidden

Visibility Control Options

• Password protection for restricted access
• Disable pages for collaborator-only viewing
• Hide from search engines while maintaining visitor access

Creating Access to Unlinked Pages

• Text links on other pages
• Button links in button blocks
• Clickthrough URLs in images
• External sharing (email campaigns, social media)

Common Uses

• Temporary storage for work-in-progress pages
• Archive for outdated content
• Hidden collection pages (blogs, portfolios)
• Special landing pages

Best Practices

1. For works in progress:

   • Store in Unlinked section
   • Disable until ready
   • Move to navigation when complete

2. For collection pages:

   • Add to Unlinked section
   • Display items elsewhere on site
   • Maintain organized content structure

3. For archived content:

   • Move to Unlinked section
   • Disable access
   • Retain for reference

Remember: Think of navigation menus as the visible dinner table, while unlinked pages are like items stored in the refrigerator - available when needed but not immediately visible.
