temp disable page with out removing

Permalink
I have a History Page, that we would like to "turn off" not delete, from the site untill we make more updates. but i dont want someone to be able to use a stored google link to get to it?, if i remove the perms from the page they get a login. Can i just have it redirect to Home page? and when updates are complete to re-enable the page and add back to the menu?

One easy way is to redirect the visitor to the Homepage using a META tag.
To add it, goto Dashboard -> Sitemap and click on the page -> Properties -> Custom Fields (tab) and select the "Header Extra Content" from the Custom Fields drop down.
Scroll down to the new field added and add:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=home_page" />
.. replace home_page with your page name like /index.php or simply /
Note though that you'll not be able to edit the page after doing this, unless you remove this line, as you'll be redirected to the home page 'whenever' you visit it.
