### Hidden pages
The idea behind hidden pages is to be able to create special "modes" which
are totally configurable by the user and are seperated from the "normal" MM² operation.
Some examples would be a "guest", "admin" or "screensaver" mode, where only very
specific modules are shown and you do not want to have them in your normal page roation.
These hidden pages are only accessible via notifications, so you need to send them from
other modules. Examples integrations could be with touch, bots or voice commands.
