 ## Exclude whole pages
 
 You can exclude whole pages from LLM endpoints (`llms.txt`) by [adding `noindex: true`](/learn/docs/seo/setting-seo-metadata#noindex) to the page's frontmatter. Pages marked `noindex` aren't indexed by search engines but remain visible in your sidebar navigation and can still be accessed directly by URL. To also hide a page from navigation, see [Hiding content](/learn/docs/customization/hiding-content).

+You can now omit changelog sections from `llms.txt` by adding the `excludeChangelog=true` query parameter. This keeps the index small for sites with long release histories. It combines with the existing `lang` and `excludeSpec` parameters, for example `/llms.txt?lang=python&excludeSpec=true&excludeChangelog=true`.
