How to stop things being published?

[greencat]

I'm getting a little confused with publishing packages. We have
various pages linked from two different places in the site - but we're
ending up with two copies of the page being published (even though
there's no publication package on one of the links).

How can I restrict something so that it is never published via one
link?

As I understand it:
1. If you don't have a publication package on a particular link, then
the pages on that link will publish to the root of the site.
2. If you connect a page in multiple places, then it will publish
multiple times according to each link's publication package.

If you want the page to publish in only one place, then you will need
to reference it from the secondary locations, rather than connecting
it directly.

Thanks a lot for this Samuel. Now it makes sense.
