Exclude a page for publishing

If I have test pages that I don't want to be published on the site, is there a way to avoid it?

Yes, you can publish your content to a custom directory. To do this, you need to access the Site Publishing Settings page by going to File and selecting Edit Site Publishing Settings. Once you're on this page, you can fill out the Subdirectory field with the name of your desired directory. For example, if you want to name it "test", you would write "test" in the Subdirectory field. After that, you can publish your content.

When you're ready to make your content public, you simply need to remove the name of the custom directory from the Subdirectory field.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns, or submit a ticket with us.

I'm sorry if my question was poorly formulated. If I have only 2 or 3 pages of tests that I don't want to be published, while all the other pages are fine and are published, is there a way to prevent the publication of the test pages only? Or is the only chance to remove them from the menu bar?

Hi Paul

Yes you are correct. The only thing you can do is to either delete the test pages completely before publishing or make sure you remove them from the nav menu as you su/vested. I know this has been asked for as a feature request in the past (ie some kind of marker to NOT publish specific pages) so I hope one day it will make it into the product

I really want this feature, I was there was a check box or something that I could uncheck a file, and it wouldn't publish that one. Constantly I have clients that send me a list of website changes. I make them all and then they decided they want to make change #1 this week and change #2 next week and the 3rd change the following week. Ugh.

However, I use a workaround, I don't love it, and it's more work than it should be. But I duplicate the site. The second duplicate I call website2. On that duplicate, I take out the pages I don't want and then upload to the server. Once I'm done with the duplicate site I delete it and keep the original site I made all the changes on.
