Using Hidden Presentations
Content admins can hide CLM presentations that are only intended to be accessed from another CLM presentation. This ensures users do not directly navigate to content without the appropriate context and prevents end user media libraries from being overcrowded. End users can only navigate to hidden presentations when they are included as sub-presentations or via the goToSlide JavaScript library method.
