YouTube provides the option to mark videos as unlisted, meaning they are not displayed in search results or on a channel's homepage. However, anyone with the link can view and share unlisted videos and playlists.

Could we have a similar feature for web maps, apps, and other items created in ArcGIS Online? This would make them publicly accessible, yet only available/discoverable to those who possess the URL link.

I would really like this option. I would also use it to be able to hide maps and feature layers used in web applications so that when someone searches, only the application shows up and not the components within it.

100% agree, was just thinking about this today! Also want to make sure this gets merged with the kudos on this idea too: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/agol-content-public-but-not-searchable/idi-p/92131...

Also an advocate for this feature to be added. Sharing fully public sometimes isn't desired for certain data and info.
