Hi @Bhavysinghal, thanks for creating a PR to help improve the Mintlify docs!
This table looks really helpful. I just requested a small change to fit our documentation style (we don't use emoji in the docs), but after that's incorporated we can get this merged.

Just a small style edit to remove the emojis.

Hi @ethanpalm, thank you for the feedback and for taking the time to review! I've addressed both points — removed the emojis and updated the column headers to sentence case. Please let me know if anything else needs adjusting! |

What changed
Added a comparison table to the "Search, SEO, and AI indexing" section of
organize/hidden-pages.mdx.Why
The section explained the behavior of
hidden,noindex,searchable, andseo.indexingproperties across multiple paragraphs. A table makes it significantly faster to scan and compare behaviors at a glance.What the table covers
hidden: true,noindex: true,searchable: true,seo.indexing: "all"How to verify
Visit the live preview and navigate to:
/organize/hidden-pages→ "Search, SEO, and AI indexing" sectionCloses #5961
Note
Low Risk
Docs-only change with no runtime or configuration behavior changes; table content matches existing guidance on the same page.
Overview
Adds a comparison table at the start of the Search, SEO, and AI indexing section in
organize/hidden-pages.mdx, right after the introductory paragraph.The table maps
hidden: true,noindex: true,searchable: true(on hidden tabs/groups), andseo.indexing: "all"to five outcomes: sidebar navigation, site search, sitemap, search engine indexing, and AI assistant context. It condenses behavior that was already described in the surrounding sections into a scannable reference.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit e49b351.
