Pages can be activated or deactivated to control their visibility to visitors and search engines. By default, new pages are automatically activated and indexable.

Automatic Deactivation Cases:

• Imported content (blog posts, products)
• Exceeding page limits on traditional billing plans (over 20 pages)

How to Activate a Page:

1. Access the Pages panel
2. Hover over the target page
3. Click to open Page Settings
4. Enable the "Enable page" option
5. Save changes

How to Deactivate a Page:

1. Access the Pages panel
2. Hover over the target page
3. Click to open Page Settings
4. Disable the "Activate page" option
5. Save changes

Important Considerations:

• Deactivating collection pages affects all items within (blog posts, products)
• Deactivated collection content remains visible in Summary/Gallery Blocks
• For Shop Pages, deactivation doesn't remove products from existing customer carts
• Portfolio subpages can't be disabled individually
• Dropdown menus must be managed by deactivating internal pages

Alternative Visibility Options:

1. Hidden Navigation: Keep pages active but hidden from menu
2. Password Protection: Restrict access while maintaining navigation visibility
3. Noindex Tag: Hide from search engines while keeping page accessible

These options provide flexibility in managing page visibility without complete deactivation, allowing you to control access while maintaining necessary functionality.
