Hi,

Bit of a farcry newbie, but loving it so far.

This is probably a very dim question, but in the site tree how can I
hide/disable/turn off a navigation node so it isn't visible (e.g. I've
made a node called "jobs" but it's a section of the site we don't want
live yet, tried sending the branch to draft but it still appears).

I'm probably missing something very simple - sorry!

Thanks for any help

Al

when you are logged in, you can see draft pages.
Try logging out then viewing the site

When you are logged as an Administrator and Preview a page it switches
FarCry into a kind-of virtual staging mode where you can see DRAFT
content in the context of the live site.

Have a look in the top-left hand corner for a little menu (or the tray
at the bottom in FarCry 5.1+) and toggle the option "Show Draft/Hide
Draft".

All the best,

Thanks for the quick response, but even with the branch set to draft
and logged out, it would still be there on the frontend (although it
would send me to the login screen when clicked). Which made it click
that I generate the nav from getDescendants but wasn't passing the
valid status filter. Told you it would be dim :)

Thanks again.

Can you show us the code you're using to build that particular
navigation? (not all the code, I'm just curious how you're getting the
query information to build it out - Depending on how you're doing it,
you may need to tell it to filter based on status).

Regards,
