Hide Page Actions

Control the visibility of page action links and buttons: Edit in GitHub, Log an issue, and Copy Markdown. Use these frontmatter options on a per-page basis when you want to hide one or more of these actions.

Overview

By default, documentation pages can show:

• Edit in GitHub: Link to open the source file on GitHub and propose edits
• Log an issue: Button to report a problem with the page (GitHub or your issue tracker)
• Copy Markdown: Button to copy the page content as Markdown

Use the options below to hide any of these actions for specific pages.

When to Use

Consider hiding these actions when:

• Edit in GitHub: Restricted content, auto-generated pages, sensitive docs, legal/compliance pages, or content that requires internal review before edits
• Log an issue: Pages not open for public feedback, auto-generated content, or internal-only docs where issues are handled elsewhere
• Copy Markdown: Pages where copying source is restricted, sensitive content, or minimal layouts where you want less clutter

You can hide any combination of the three; each option is independent.

Syntax

Add one or more properties to your page's frontmatter:

---
title: Your Page Title
hideEditInGitHub: true
hideLogIssue: true
hideCopyMarkDown: true
---

Parameters

Examples

Hide only Edit in GitHub

---
title: Internal Reference
hideEditInGitHub: true
---

Hide only Log an issue

---

---
title: Read-Only Page
hideCopyMarkDown: true
---

Hide all three actions

---
title: Locked Down Page

hideLogIssue: true

Example

This page has all three options enabled. The "Edit in GitHub" link and the "Log an issue" and "Copy Markdown" buttons are not visible in the page action area.

Best Practices

• Use these options sparingly to keep documentation open and easy to contribute to
• Document internally which pages use these options and why
• Review periodically whether hiding actions is still necessary
