title: How to Hide Community Pages from AI Search and Keyword Search
description: You can control whether a Community page is discoverable in AI Search and the front-end keyword search bar — without needing to remove it from your platform entirely. This is especially useful for internal-only pages that you don't want on your menu or front end, but whose content you still want indexed and searchable in certain contexts.

# How to Hide Community Pages from AI Search and Keyword Search
## This article walks through how to hide a Community page from search, confirm the change took effect, and reverse it when needed.
### Overview
You can control whether a Community page is discoverable in **AI Search** and the front-end **keyword search bar** — without needing to remove it from your platform entirely. This is especially useful for internal-only pages that you don't want on your menu or front end, but whose content you still want indexed and searchable in certain contexts.
### Before You Start
Note that this setting does **not** affect content preference selection. If you also want to hide a page from a user's preference/interest checklist (the options users select when creating an account), you'll need to update **Global Visibility** separately. This article only covers **Page and Search Visibility**.
### How to Hide a Page from Search
1. Go to your **Admin Dashboard** and navigate to **Manage \> Communities**.
2. Click into the Community page you want to hide.
3. Scroll about three-quarters of the way down to the **Visibility and Filters** section.
4. Locate **Page and Search Visibility** (one of four visibility settings available).
5. Switch the setting to **Hidden**.
6. Click **Update** in the bottom-left corner to save.
### Confirming the Change
Once updated, give the platform a few minutes to process the change before testing.
**Check the front end first:**
- Navigate to the page directly (e.g., via the menu). You should see a **Page Not Found** error — this confirms the page is now hidden from the front end as well as search.
**Check AI Search:**
- Ask AI Search a question directly related to the page's content.
- **Give it a minute or two** to process the visibility change. If you test immediately, the page may still surface temporarily.
- Try starting a **New Search** and asking a related (but not identical) question to get a cleaner read on whether the page has been suppressed.
- Once fully processed, the hidden page should no longer appear in AI Search results — other related content may surface instead, but not the hidden page.
### How to Make a Page Visible Again
1. Return to **Manage \> Communities** and click into the page.
2. Scroll to **Page and Search Visibility** and switch it back to **Visible**.
3. Click **Update**.
4. Wait about a minute for the change to process.
5. Test on the front end — the page should now load normally, and it should reappear in keyword search and AI Search results.
### Quick Reference
| Setting | What It Hides |
| --- | --- |
| Page and Search Visibility | Front-end page access, keyword search, AI Search |
| Global Visibility | Content preference/interest selection during account setup |
### Video Walkthrough
**Pro Tip:** Always allow **1–2 minutes** of processing time after changing visibility settings before testing. Testing too quickly can make it seem like the change didn't work when it just hasn't fully propagated yet.
