Hello, we added robots.txt into /app/ folder & created
- page.tsx, layout.tsx with metadata
- - (steps) some pages (some of them still can be found) - no metadata
My questions are:
- are metadata from root (app) layout.tsx inherited/shared to childrens or for every child layout I need to pass new metadata object - in this case (steps)/layout.tsx? I can see meta tag robots with noindex inside (steps) pages tho..
metadata const with robots: { index: false } into root layout.tsx but we still see that some of the pages can be searched. We have another layout.tsx inside deeper - page.tsx, layout.tsx with metadata
- - (steps) some pages (some of them still can be found) - no metadata

If you add
metadata in page.tsx it'll only affect that specific page@Anay-208 | Ping in replies If you add `metadata` in `page.tsx` it'll only affect that specific page

Yeah Im aware of that but as I mentioned, we added metadata into root layouts.tsx
Can you just try accessing
/robots.txt and send the content
/robots.txt and send the content
