Yes, you can remove specific member pages from the autogenerated sitemap in Webflow. By default, Webflow automatically generates a sitemap for your site based on the pages you have in your project. However, if you have certain member pages that you don't want to include in the sitemap, you can follow these steps:

Open your Webflow project and go to the Pages panel.
Locate the member page that you want to remove from the sitemap.
Click on the three-dot menu next to the page name and select "Page settings".
In the Page settings modal, scroll down to the "Indexing and SEO" section.
You will see a checkbox option that says "Include in search results and XML sitemap".
Uncheck this checkbox for the member page you want to remove from the sitemap.
Click "Save" to apply the changes.

Once you have unchecked the "Include in search results and XML sitemap" option for a member page, that page will no longer be included in the autogenerated sitemap. This means that the page will not be indexed by search engines and will not appear in search results.

Keep in mind that removing a member page from the sitemap can affect its discoverability by search engines. If you want search engines to discover and index your member pages, it is generally recommended to keep them in the sitemap. However, there may be certain cases where you may want to exclude specific member pages from the sitemap, such as for privacy reasons or if the content is only meant for registered users.

To summarize, here are the steps to remove specific member pages from the autogenerated sitemap in Webflow:

Open your Webflow project and go to the Pages panel.
Locate the member page you want to exclude.
Click on the three-dot menu and select "Page settings".
Scroll down to the "Indexing and SEO" section.
Uncheck the "Include in search results and XML sitemap" checkbox.
Click "Save" to apply the changes.
