Greetings, i am trying to exclude some product for the collection /all but this collection is not available in the products/collections but in the shopify admin, does anyone knows why?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, @mpatsia
Thanks for posting. That’s a great question!
The ‘all’ collection is an automatic catch-all collection of all your active products. As such, you aren’t able to edit it. If, however, you use this collection visibly in your Online Store and want to exclude certain products, you can create a new collection to take its place. For example, ‘All Products’ instead of All.
Once you create your new collection you can swap out the ‘all’ collection for your new collection in your store’s navigation. This way, the originall ‘all’ collection will only be visible if a customer uses the direct link.
I hope that helps! If you have anymore questions please let us know.
Hello and thanks for reply, because this collection has some products that I want to hide always not only if some goes to site via a link from Google and have the ability to access that collection, I can somehow not make this collection visible ?

Hello, this resource refers to collections in general, i want for the collections/all.
Hi, @mpatsia
Thanks for your response!
To remove the ‘all’ collection from indexing in search engines, you can use the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header with the value of ‘noindex’ to your page’s response. This will instruct search engines not to index the page. That being said, this is outside Shopify’s scope of support. Thus, if this is something you are unfamiliar with you should hire a Shopify Expert.
You can find more information about this method in the Shopify documentation on SEO.
