How to hide content.action.edit and content.action.view buttons on specific pages?

[pyheight]

Hello Material community!

I'm using the following configuration to show edit and view buttons on pages:

features:
  - content.action.edit
  - content.action.view

These buttons appear in the top-right corner of every page. I'd like to hide them on specific pages, similar to how we can hide navigation, toc, and footer using front matter:

---
hide:
  - navigation
  - toc
  - footer
---

Is there a way to extend this functionality to hide the action buttons? I couldn't find documentation about this specific case.

I'd appreciate any suggestions, whether through:

1. Front matter configuration

2. Custom CSS/JS solution

3. Plugin recommendations

Thank you for your help!

Hi @pyheight,
you'd use theme customization in form of template overrides:

• https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/customization/#extending-the-theme

Actions are included inside the content partial:

• mkdocs-material/src/templates/partials/content.html

  Line 27 in 08fd869

  {% include "partials/actions.html" %}

And their inclusion logic is inside their own actions partial:

• https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/blob/08fd86935b350002ffb0150cd2ac40ad164aad0d/src/templates/partials/actions.html

So you have to override either of these partials, I would go with the partials/actions.html as it's more specific.
Then inside the overridden file modify the conditional and add a condition to rely on the local file page.meta.name like

---
hide_actions: true
---

an example of such conditional can be found here:

• https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/reference/#on-a-single-page
  But you'd not override the extrahead block, instead use the conditional with your custom variable name in the overridden partial.
