Hide from menus

This behavior is available on locks that protect Products and variants, Collections, Pages, Blogs and articles, or a Specific URL. It removes any navigation menu link pointing to the protected item, so it doesn’t show up as an option for visitors browsing your storefront’s menus.

Note

The Hide from menus checkbox is confirmed to appear in the Blocked visitor behavior panel for Products and variants and Collections content types. Other content types listed above may show the same option, a variation, or none — check the panel for your specific content type.

Caution

Hiding a link from your menus does not lock the page or product itself. A visitor who already has the direct URL — from a bookmark, a shared link, or a search result — can still reach it unless another behavior (like Hide from search engines) or the lock’s own access rules also block it. Use this setting to declutter navigation, not as your only protection.

Reach this setting

1. Open Locks and create a new lock, or open an existing one to edit it.
2. On the Lock setup tab, choose a content type that supports this behavior — Products and variants, Collections, Pages, Blogs and articles, or Specific URL — and select what to protect.
3. Click the Unlock rules tab, then add your access rules in the main column.
4. On the same Unlock rules tab, find the Hide from menus checkbox in the Blocked visitor behavior panel in the right-hand sidebar.

Turn on Hide from menus to remove links to the protected item from your storefront navigation.

What it does

When turned on, any link in your storefront’s navigation menus that points to the protected product, collection, page, article, or URL is removed from those menus. Visitors browsing your menus simply won’t see it listed as an option — the menu behaves as if the link were never added.

Caution

This setting may require a paid plan. If your current plan doesn’t include it, the app shows an upgrade prompt in place of the checkbox.

Click Save once you’ve turned this on for the lock.
