Hiding Old Pages from Your Class Website

At this time of the year, it can be very helpful to simply hide the pages you used last year on your class website that either are obsolete information, but a useful reference for your planning for this year's site.  Keeping a page connected to your site, yet making it invisible to visitors is not as hard as you might think.  What you really need to understand is the way websites and all of its pages are organized and how a Navigation Sidebar works.

Here is a link to a document that shows you using text and static pictures how to see and understand your site's pages and how to manually manage the Navigation gadget in your website's sidebar.

This is the video that demonstrates how to add a newly created page to the sidebar when automatic navigation is turned off.  Follow these directions to add links to pages and change their position in the list in the sidebar.
