Can I hide or delete a collection page in Webflow without using a password protection or JavaScript redirect?

You can hide a collection page from public view in Webflow, but you cannot completely delete system-generated collection pages. However, you have several no-code methods to prevent access without using password protection or JavaScript redirects.

1. Remove All Items From the Collection

• Collection pages only exist if there are live CMS items.
• To disable a collection page from being accessible, unpublish or archive all items in that collection.
• When a visitor tries to access a collection page for an unpublished item, they’ll get a 404 error.

2. Disable Collection Page Indexing

• Go to the Pages panel.
• Scroll to the Collection Pages section and click the gear icon next to the collection template.
• Under SEO Settings, check "Disable SEO indexing".
• While this doesn't hide the page from direct access, it prevents it from being indexed by search engines.

3. Remove Collection Links in Navigation

• Manually ensure there are no links to the collection page anywhere on your site (e.g., nav bar, CMS collections, buttons, etc.).
• This way, users won’t be able to reach the page unless they guess the URL.

4. Design a “Blocked” Collection Page

• On the collection page template, design a message or blank page indicating the page isn't available.
• You can use a static layout for the collection page that doesn’t pull any CMS data, or shows a generic message like “Page not available.”

Summary

While you can't delete a collection page in Webflow, you can effectively hide it by removing all collection items, disabling indexing, removing internal links, and updating its design to block access—all without using passwords or JavaScript.
