In the Universal App, you have the option to publish collections that are hidden from the main site. These hidden collections are only accessible via a direct URL, providing a way to share exclusive content without displaying it publicly on your app.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Access Content Settings:

    • Navigate to the Content section in your Universal App dashboard.

  2. Go to Collections Tab:

    • Click on the Collections tab to view all your existing collections.

  3. Select the Collection to Hide:

    • Find and select the collection you wish to hide from the main site.

  4. Scroll to Advanced Settings:

    • Within the collection settings, scroll down to locate the Advanced Settings tab.

  5. Adjust Visibility Options:

    • Under the visibility options, toggle the Hide Collection from the List setting. This action will ensure that the collection is not displayed anywhere on the site.

  6. Save Changes:

    • Once you've adjusted the visibility settings, save your changes to apply them.

Accessing the Hidden Collection via URL

Important Note:

The hidden collection will only be accessible via this direct URL. It will not appear in any public lists or navigation menus on your site, making it ideal for sharing exclusive content with select audiences.
