Directory Navigation

Configure directory-level sidebar navigation with .config.yml.

Beyond per-file frontmatter, you can place a .config.yml file in any content directory to configure the whole directory.

# content/docs/guide/.config.yml
navigation:
  label: Guide
  icon: book
  description: A collection of how-to guides

Field	Type	Description
`navigation.title`	`string`	The directory's group title in the sidebar.
`navigation.label`	`string`	An alternative label.
`navigation.description`	`string`	Group description.
`navigation.icon`	`string`	Icon identifier (interpreted by your nav component).
`navigation.hidden`	`boolean`	Hide the whole directory group, including its children.
`navigation.flatten`	`boolean`	Promote children to the parent level, removing this grouping layer.

hidden: hide a group

navigation:
  hidden: true

The directory disappears from the sidebar, but pages inside it remain accessible by URL.

navigation:
  flatten: true

Child pages are promoted one level up, removing the "group → children" two-level structure — handy when you don't want an extra layer of nesting.
