Exclude Files

Control which files are included in your documentation build.

Ignoring Directories

Files and directories starting with _ or . are automatically ignored:

app/docs/
├── page.mdx          # ✅ Included
├── _drafts/          # ❌ Ignored
│   └── page.mdx
└── .internal/        # ❌ Ignored
    └── page.mdx

Excluding from Search

To keep a page visible but exclude it from search results:

---
title: My Page
searchable: false
---

Excluding from Sitemap

---
title: My Page
sitemap: false
---

Best Practices

1. Use _ prefix for work-in-progress content
2. Use hidden frontmatter for pages you want accessible but not in the sidebar
3. Use searchable: false for pages that shouldn't appear in search
