The value of the CustomTopPanel and CustomBottomPanel is that we can hide these pages from users, but they can still see the content. I enjoy having the ability to set the permission to private, so they do not appear in the Navigation Panel and SiteMap.

I'd like to see additional panels with this ability. Specifically, to make custom navigation panels that do not also appear as pages in the site map etc. In other words, while the view/edit/etc privileges would be private, the panel would still rending its content.

I'm finding some users are confused why they see a navigation panel on the side and the same one on a page. Also, this just looks sloppy and not well organized.
