Is there a version of anonymous access that isn't crawlable by search engines?

Question

I'd like to share specific pages in our Confluence account with team members without forcing them to log in (which we'd also have to pay for). The only option I see if anonymous access, but it looks like content made available via anonymous access is picked up by search engines. Are there any other options?

I don't think so. Anon access is actually that. You would have to be on Server or Data Center where you have more control at the server level.

You might go the route of have a group/shared login that doesn't allow commenting, etc. for people to use. Whether that violates the licensing agreement, I cannot speak to.

Hi @Alyssa Barrett

I'd recommend the Public Pages feature. It's great for sharing one off pages, and they're not search engine indexed.
