Can we have the page tree selector re-instate private pages for NEW installs please? so that NEW users can filter their page tree by pages that have guest view permission disabled (thus making it a private page). This is insane!!

"For the selector in the Page tree, we agreed to have this design"
Thank you Carolina ... keep up the good work.

The dropdown selector in page tree ... "ideally it shouldn't be a selector, or even should it disappear?"
You're not thinking forth dimensionally if you remove it!! That can be a helpful tool to limit the page tree to show only categories for example. Please take a step back and re-think this hatred of private pages, you're just generating work that doesn't need to be done and making the product harder to use.

"still a mention to Private Pages"
Why remove it??

Lee Jordan July 15, 2022 at 10:30 AM
"Please take that into account and don't forget about the existing customers"
Exactly.
I too understand the premise, but as mentioned there I share that same concern about usability. Right now it's easy, you have a private page or you don't AND they are filtered into two views. You can see only private pages or only public pages.
I understand why Liferay wanted to do this. What I don't understand is why rip out the UI right now? As mentioned above a phased approach could have occured where the private pages UI part was deprecated. But instead it was just ripped out. Like you couldn't get rid of them fast enough, like these private pages are so evil they have to go right this second. Makes no sense.
And mixing private pages ("restricted pages??") in with public pages just makes it so much more confusing. I understand the backend mechanism of it. I don't understand why we had to have the private pages and private pages drop down and the ability to add a private page removed?? Why do that? Now we are going to have to spend a year fixing it, so we can "add a private page" sorry private pages are "confusing" ... a "restricted page".
Where are the UX people?

With this story, we want to make private pages disappear from the UI for those customers / installations that have no existing private pages.
Requirements
Any fresh installation of Liferay 7.4.x must avoid the creation of private pages. To achieve this, several requirements must be met:
Pages administration will show no breadcrumb Pages > Public Pages. Pages administration will be placed at first level as just "Pages".
The Add action, be it from the "+" icon in the miller columns, the page tree or on the top right corner, will show only two options: "Page" and "Collection Page"
In the Page Tree, the current selector Public / Private Pages will show just "Pages" (ideally it shouldn't be a selector, or even should it disappear?), and the first level of the tree will be named just as "Pages"
Configuration will be tackled in LPS-142517 - Configuration for enabling Private Pages
