Create a way to have published **knowledge base articles** which are not public, **but accessible via direct URL**.  
By “not public” I also mean **that** they **don’t appear in the Search Results**.  
I’m aware of the [Manage membership for private content](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/website-pages/manage-membership-for-private-content) but this creates a problem for me.  
Basically, if I share a link to my B2B partners, and then they share it with their clients (which are my B2B2C users), they won’t be able to access the content, because they are not in my contacts database.

Yes! We need to have articles that anyone can access, but that don’t clutter up the navigation  
This would be like “unlisted” videos on YouTube: you can’t search or browse for them, but you can always follow a link to them

+1 on this! It would be so helpful to not have to clutter up my help documents with small articles that only need to be linked to. Following along for updates!
