Within page Details we now have "Visible to site search" (the existing toggle) and "Visible to search engines"
Toggling "Visible to search engines" off will add a
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">
tag to your page

Sitemap XML not hiding "Not Visible to Search" pages

To "hide a page from search" should include what gets seen by the search engines - not just by site search.
It would be handy if pages such as: Cart, Checkout, Search Results, Login, etc., that are being hidden from site search in Page Details, should also be "hidden" (i.e., not included) in the sitemap.xml file that Siteglide generates.
Currently, all such "hidden" pages appear in the sitemap.xml file that Siteglide generates when using {% include 'sitemap', layout: 'xml', types: 'pages' -%}

Is there any other functionality here that the robots.txt system page does not provide?

Dean Vizer: are you saying we should manage this through robots.txt ? I know this is possible but not very user friendly
Dean Vizer
Urszula Richards: I believe so. Either using robots.txt or using the meta tag and siteglide head scripts for an individual page should prove the same functionality

Dean Vizer: So I guess we are still wanting to vote up this feature that it becomes like the existing hide from search one, but relate to google search as opposed to internal search.
Dean Vizer
Urszula Richards: Sure! I just wanted to check if it was some other functionality or a UX improvement for robots/meta no follow

Dean Vizer: I agree with Urszula Richards and also think preventing Google from indexing a page would be very helpful. I'd prefer, if possible, a UI solution for clients - and me, versus a robots.txt or meta tag solution. Thanks!
