Aurora: Hide places and content from lists, menus, and search
In the community, you can hide any place (board or category) or posts related to a board (Forum, Blog, Knowledge Base, Event, and Ideas) from lists, menus, and search. Doing so hides the places and content from appearing in your community structure but still keeps them available to members via direct link to the content. To prevent search results from boards being directly accessible, you’d need to make the board private. Hide a place from appearing in lists, menus, and search Let’s take an example where you want to hide a category from appearing in the community place widgets, place picker menus, and search results. To hide a category: Open the Account menu and go to Settings > Community Structure. In Community Structure, click the category you want to hide. Go to Display Settings and toggle on Hide category in place widgets, place picker menus, and search.
