Visibility
Pages that are set to hidden are not displayed on the frontend - visitors cannot see them. However, they remain visible in the backend and can still be edited.
This is useful if you want to prepare a page without publishing it immediately, or if a page needs to be taken offline temporarily.
Way 1: Context menu in the page tree
The quickest way for individual pages.
Hide a page:
- Click the icon to the left of the page name in the page tree
- Select Disable from the context menu
- The page icon will turn grey - the page is now hidden
Show a page again:
- Click the icon of the greyed-out page
- Select Enable from the context menu
Way 2: List view in the workspace
In the list view, TYPO3 displays an eye icon for each page, letting you toggle its visibility directly.
- Open the List module
- Select a parent page in the page tree
- Click the eye icon next to the desired page
Way 3: Page properties – "Access" tab
- Open the Page properties of the page
- Switch to the Access tab
- Disable the option Page visible to hide the page
- Save
Note
The “Access” tab also includes the option “Hide in menus” - this only removes the page from the navigation menu but keeps it accessible via a direct link. This is different from completely hiding the page.
