What does it mean, I tried looking up the help file and no mention of it.

Ok found it on the release notes, but why would anyone use it? Can you give me instances where the content is marked to not be found by crawlers?

I think this inserts a comment into the HTML script not to follow a link, and/or not to link to it in a Google search.

Just not sure why anyone would use it.

You need to read through https://ahrefs.com/blog/nofollow-links/ to understand what a nofollow link is achieving.

Xara PDF Help Manual:

Nofollow links You can find this option within the dialog Web Properties > Link dialog. When a link is set to Nofollow, it tells search engines that encounter the link not to follow it for ranking and
indexing purposes, for example if you link to another website outside of your domain.


Exactly how search engines use this information varies with each search engine and may change in the future.

I use it for hidden login pages, and internal documents and resources available for staff, dealers, etc., but not to the general public, where security is not a major issue.
