# Manage content display

A CDN resource returns a response from the content origin by default. You can temporarily [hide content display](#hide-content) to make the CDN resource content unavailable to users.

If you have hidden the content display, you can [restore it](#return-content) at any time.

## Hide content display \{#hide-content}

You can hide CDN resource content display in one of the following ways:

* [set a status code](#set-status-code) — the user will receive a response with the specified status code;
* or [configure a redirect](#configure-redirect) — the user will be redirected to another link.

### Set a status code \{#set-status-code}

1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/cdn-v3), in the top menu, click **Products** and select **CDN**.

2. In the **CDN Resources** section, open the CDN resource page → **General** tab.

3. In the **Return http status code** block, select the **Enabled** checkbox.

4. In the **Response status code** field, enter a response code between `100` and `599`, except for redirect codes: `301`, `302`, `303`, `307`, `308`. The entered status code will appear in the CDN resource response.

5. Optional: in the **Response body** field, enter the text that will appear in the response.

6. Click **Apply**. While settings are being applied, the CDN resource enters the `PROCESSING` status. You cannot apply other settings during this time. Settings take effect when the CDN resource transitions to `ACTIVE`.

7. [Purge the CDN resource cache](/cdn/content/cleanup-cache.mdx).

### Configure a redirect \{#configure-redirect}

1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/cdn-v3), in the top menu, click **Products** and select **CDN**.

2. In the **CDN Resources** section, open the CDN resource page → **General** tab.

3. In the **Return http status code** block, select the **Enabled** checkbox.

4. In the **Response status code** field, enter one of the redirect codes: `301`, `302`, `303`, `307`, `308`.

5. In the **Redirect URL** field, enter the link to which the user will be redirected.

6. Click **Apply**. While settings are being applied, the CDN resource enters the `PROCESSING` status. You cannot apply other settings during this time. Settings take effect when the CDN resource transitions to `ACTIVE`.

7. Optional: to make the CDN server cache content from the redirect link, [enable redirect following](/cdn/resources/manage-redirects-following.mdx#enable-redirects-following). By default, the CDN server only caches the response with the redirect code.

8. [Purge the CDN resource cache](/cdn/content/cleanup-cache.mdx).

## Restore CDN resource content display \{#return-content}

1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/cdn-v3), in the top menu, click **Products** and select **CDN**.

2. In the **CDN Resources** section, open the CDN resource page → **General** tab.

3. In the **Return http status code** block, clear the **Enabled** checkbox.

4. Click **Apply**. While settings are being applied, the CDN resource enters the `PROCESSING` status. You cannot apply other settings during this time. Settings take effect when the CDN resource transitions to `ACTIVE`.

5. [Purge the CDN resource cache](/cdn/content/cleanup-cache.mdx).
