Change what page is "next" / "previous"?

[bannmann]

Here's my current navigation structure:

• Home
  • Introduction❶
  • Privacy Policy❷
  • Imprint❸
• User Guide
  • Getting started❹
  • Examples❺
• References
  • Data mapping details❻
  • Conditions❼
  • Transformers❽
  • Properties❾

I really like the next/previous links in the footer and would like to keep them. However, I envision them being more suited as a "guided tour", so I would like to exclude pages ❷ and ❸ as they are not part of the recommended reading order.

While I can disable the footer on those pages, they still are part of the "tour", i.e. they appear on "neighbor pages" as next/previous.

So instead of going like this:
❶⯈❷⯈❸⯈❹⯈❺⯈❻⯈❼⯈❽⯈❾
❶⯇❷⯇❸⯇❹⯇❺⯇❻⯇❼⯇❽⯇❾

I would like the next/previous links to go like this:
❶⯈❹⯈❺⯈❻⯈❼⯈❽⯈❾
❶⯇❹⯇❺⯇❻⯇❼⯇❽⯇❾

Is this possible by overriding some partials/blocks? If so, what's the best approach? I don't need a full copy-paste solution and am happy to figure out the details myself. I'd just like some reassurance and guidance before entering the rabbit hole.

This was already requested several times. The solution is to reorder your documentation, i.e., nav section. If we would allow to set this via front matter, you would need to change this for every page, because it would be local to each Markdown file. We wouldn't consider this a good idea since it's not really maintainable.
