Pages can be easily managed through activation and deactivation to control their visibility to visitors and search engines. Here's everything you need to know about managing page visibility:

Default Page Status

• New pages are automatically activated and visible
• Pages are indexable by search engines when active
• Deactivated pages are hidden from visitors and search engines

Automatic Deactivation Cases

• When importing content from other services
• Exceeding page limits on legacy billing plans
• Portfolio subpages (collection items)

How to Enable a Page

1. Navigate to the "Pages" panel
2. Hover over the desired page
3. Click to open page settings
4. Enable the "Enable Page" option
5. Click Save

How to Disable a Page

1. Open the "Pages" panel
2. Hover over the target page
3. Click to access page settings
4. Disable the "Enable Page" option
5. Click Save

Important Considerations

• Deactivating Collection Pages disables all items within
• Disabled Store Pages prevent new purchases
• Existing cart items remain available until removed
• Dropdowns cannot be deactivated directly

Alternative Visibility Options

1. Unlinked Pages

   • Remains active but hidden from navigation
   • Accessible via direct URL

2. Password Protection

   • Keeps page visible in navigation
   • Restricts access to authorized users

3. Noindex Tags

   • Keeps page active for visitors
   • Prevents search engine indexing

These options provide flexible control over page visibility while maintaining site functionality.
