+# Excluding Pages
+
+For specific pages that you do not wish to include in the main navigation (e.g., a 404 page or a landing page) set `nav_exclude: true` in their front matter.
+
+## Example: using `nav_exclude`
+{: .text-delta }
+
+```yaml
+---
+layout: default
+title: 404
+nav_exclude: true
+permalink: /404
+---
+```
+
+The `nav_exclude` parameter does not affect the [breadcrumbs]({% link docs/navigation/parents.md %}), nor the [lists of child pages]({% link docs/navigation/children.md %}), which you can use to access pages excluded from the main navigation.
+
+Pages with no `title` are automatically excluded from the main navigation, except when they are in collections (where Jekyll provides default titles based on file names).
+
+Child pages are automatically excluded from the main navigation when their parent page is excluded.
+
+{: .warning }
+It is currently possible to exclude all the child pages of a page from the main navigation by setting `has_children: false` in its front matter. However, the `has_children` parameter may be ignored altogether in a future release, so it is better to use the `nav_exclude` parameter on each child page.
