# Hidden Pages

Sometimes you need a page to be accessible by URL but invisible in the sidebar. Holocron supports hiding at both the page and group level.

## Hidden pages via frontmatter

Set `hidden: true` in the page's frontmatter:

```mdx
---
title: Internal API Reference
hidden: true
---
```

The page is still rendered and accessible at its URL, but it does not appear in the sidebar navigation.

## Hidden groups

Set `hidden: true` on a group in `docs.json`:

```json
{
  "group": "Internal",
  "hidden": true,
  "pages": ["internal/debug", "internal/metrics"]
}
```

All pages in the group are accessible by URL but the group is hidden from the sidebar.

## Hidden tabs

Tabs also support `hidden: true`:

```json
{
  "tab": "Beta",
  "hidden": true,
  "groups": [
    { "group": "Beta Features", "pages": ["beta/feature-x"] }
  ]
}
```

## Use cases

* **Internal pages** that are linked from external tools but should not clutter the sidebar
* **Beta documentation** shared via direct link before it is publicly visible
* **Legacy pages** kept alive for old bookmarks without promoting them in navigation
