What other option is there to prevent subpages from being displayed in the menu bar?

i know the way to do this by clicking on the “eye” in the left-sidebar. but this also leads to this subpage being removed from the sitemap.xml …

unfortunately, I cannot find any settings for this in the inspector of the menu.

thanks for your any tips

Yes, this is the correct way to hide pages from navigation. However, I don’t think hidden pages should be removed from the sitemap too. I’ve added a ticket to get this fixed.

i think this is the same “feature” as in rw-classic.

there the page is also removed from the navigation and sitemap by removing the option “show in the navigation”.

@tpbradley  
btw: the function “mark as changed” and “mark as unchanged” does not work in the left sidebar (what is the wording for this sidebar in [elements](https://elementsapp.io/)?)

I had a feeling that might be the case. I’ll have a chat with @dan and @ben to figure out what we should be doing here.

It has a few interchangeable names but generally we refer to it as the project browser. You could also use project navigator or page list.

We’re aware of the “mark as changed” and “mark as unchanged” menu items not working correctly. We’re planning a larger overhaul of publishing in [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) so we’ll get them fixed up then.

a separate solution for “show in navigation” and “show in sitemap” would certainly be optimal.

An either, or, or both, would be best and proper in my eyes. But what do I know…

Good news! [Build 1.0.5](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/elements-1-0-5-23714/48852) includes a new option to include a page in the sitemap, this means you now get full control over each page 🙂

Classic up is also incoming…
