Hello Anand,

Thank you for contacting us about this!

The option Hide Excerpted Content in the Excerpt Macro provides the following functionality:

Controls whether the page content contained in the Excerpt macro placeholder is displayed on the page.

Note that this option affects only the page that contains the Excerpt macro. It does not affect any pages where the content is reused.

That means that on the page with the Excerpt Macro you can hide the content within the Excerpt Macro. It will not hide content on any pages that are using the Excerpt Include Macro to display that information.

I hope that clarifies things for you! If you have any additional questions please feel free to let me know.

Regards,

Shannon
