Will the pages in the directory be indexed?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Will the pages in the directory stop being indexed if internal and external links to it and its pages disappear?
Or by deleting all links and prohibit indexing with the tag. At the same time, the catalog is needed, used and replenished.
Thanks

Answer 1

What is your task? To not be indexed, but to work?
Then register a ban on indexing in robots.txt for these pages <meta name="robots" content="noindex">.
Or do you want the site to be indexed despite the lack of incoming links?
Then set up an xml sitemap.

Answer 2

Make it a no-index or ban it in robots, the lack of links is not a reason for not indexing
