Hide a section from the Bitrix directory list without deactivating it so that it remains accessible by link?

Question

1C-Bitrix

Good afternoon. I have been working with Bitrix quite recently. There is a catalog page with sections and you need to hide some sections from the top menu and the general catalog page, but so that users can go to these sections via a link. Deactivation is not suitable for this task.

Answer 1

check these sections - do not show in the menu
and then check this checkbox in the menu template
