How to define if an asset can be crawled by search engines or not
You can set assets you upload to Plytix as "Private" or "Public." Set an asset to "Private" to ensure that search engines cannot crawl the URL. This is usually done with internal assets. Set an asset to "Public" when you are okay with this asset appearing in search engines. This articles teaches how to set an asset's privacy one by one and in bulk.
⚠️ Setting an asset to "Private" means the asset will not be crawled or listed in search engines. However, anyone with access to the URL can download the asset.
💡 Link internal assets to a Media Gallery attribute to avoid sharing them publicly.
