File Visibility
1 min read
DescriptionControl which notes are visible on your published site.
Each file in your vault has one of three visibility states, configurable from the Files tab in your dashboard.
Normal
The default state. The file appears in:
- The site navigation
- The index page
- Search results
- The sitemap
Unlisted
The file is accessible via its direct URL and resolves correctly from [[wikilinks]], but is hidden from:
- The site navigation
- The index page
- Search results
- The sitemap
Use unlisted for notes you want to link to privately without surfacing them to visitors browsing your site.
Hidden
The file returns a 404 to all visitors. It is not accessible via any URL.
Use hidden to keep a note synced but completely invisible on the published site.
Changing visibility
- Open your site in the dashboard → Files tab
- Find the file and click the visibility button (eye / unlist icon)
- Changes take effect immediately — no re-sync required
