Excluding pages

Exclusion is by label. Add the label in Confluence and the page stops publishing on the next build.

There is no per-page toggle in the Sites interface, and custom exclude labels are not configurable.


#The two labels

Label

Purpose

capable-sites-exclude

The Capable label. Use this one

scroll-help-center-exclude-page

Honoured for compatibility with content migrated from Scroll


#What excluding does

  • The page is not built, so it does not appear on the site or in the sitemap.

  • It takes effect on the next Update, like any other change.

  • Child pages are not excluded automatically. Label each one.


#A few things worth knowing

  • A custom exclude label field is stored per site but no screen writes it, so only the two built-ins work.

  • Removing the label republishes the page on the next build.

  • Excluding a page does not remove it from an already-promoted site until you promote again.



Labels only. Restrictions are not exclusion.
