[Feature Request]: Allow for hidden pages

[shainaraskas]

Prerequisites

• I have searched existing issues to ensure this feature hasn't already been requested
• I have tested using the latest version of docs-builder

What problem are you trying to solve?

Allow for docs pages to be created that meet the following criteria:

• They don't appear in the sidebar / IA
• They are noindexed on google

Use case: targeted communications for changes to our platform. The doc needs to exist longer than the content of an email so it can be shared by support and by other Elastic stakeholders

In future, we could also use this for beta docs.

Proposed Solution

Add a variable into front matter for this?

Examples and Research

• mkdocs allows for this by still publishing pages not explicitly included in nav (this is a common pattern)
• last docs system I personally worked on did this using a hidden: true frontmatter flag

can grab more examples if needed
