When Using Collections

1. Remove images from a collection.

If you have organized your artwork into Collections you can hide some of your work by simply taking it out of the collection.

It is important to understand that this will hide your work from view on your public website. However, search engines may still find and index your images. There is no way to avoid this.

See this FAQ: How do I assign artwork to my collections?

2. Set up a Hidden Collection

Another option would be to create a separate collection for these 'hidden' images. Set the collection as an Unlisted Collection (in Details).
See this FAQ:  Can I hide a collection?

Assign images to this collection.
See this FAQ: How do I assign artwork to my collections?

This will keep the collection ‘hidden’ from public view while still organizing the images in one place.

NOTE: If the image Status is set to Archived, be sure to change the Status from Archived to Current otherwise the images will appear in the View Archived Works link on your website.

See this FAQ: Archived Artwork
