Hidden Pages Management

The Hidden Pages Management interface allows administrators to view, search, and manage pages that have been marked as inactive or hidden (IsActive = 2). This specialized view provides access to content that is not visible to regular users but may need to be reviewed, restored, or permanently deleted by administrators.
