Hiding a public gallery inside a private group

You may want to have a public gallery available to visitors through direct links by e-mail invitations, but have it hidden from your Home page.
You may also want to have a Slideshow with images from a Gallery hidden from the Home page. To do this, the best way would be to use our Hide from Visitors option.
Your other choice would be to modify the Access Control for the public gallery, then move your public gallery into a private group. This is also good if you want to have a gallery made only for your Home page slideshow, but hidden from regular viewing.
