When an Access Rule's target is set to "Specific collection," you can now apply access restrictions not only to the product pages within the collection, but also to the collection page itself (/collections/…).
Previously, even if the product pages within a collection were restricted, the collection page itself remained visible to anyone, exposing the collection name and product listing. With this update, simply turning on a per-rule checkbox lets you restrict the collection page under the same conditions.
Key Specifications
- Only available for rules where the target product is "Specific collection" (the default is off, so existing rules' behavior is unchanged)
- Display conditions (logged-in users, guests, password holders) and custom screen/redirect settings are shared as-is
You can configure this from "Also restrict the collection page," which appears when you set the target product to "Specific collection" in the Access Rule creation/edit screen.
Please note that restricting the collection page does not remove the collection name from the navigation menu, collection list, or sitemap.
