Moving Pages

This tutorial covers the basic tasks required to move a page to a different location...

Requirements

• You must have sufficient privileges to view the page
• You must have sufficient privileges to edit the page
• You must also have the required privileges set by any Page Restrictions
• You must have sufficient privileges to edit pages in the destination space if you are moving the page to another space
• You should have a good understanding of Content Organisation

Step 1 - Editing the Page

First, navigate to the page and then edit it using one of the methods below depending on which theme you are using...

Standard Confluence Themes

In the standard Confluence themes, you'll see an Edit Page tab above the page or in the navigation bar to the left.

Builder Theme

Choose "Edit > Edit this page..." from the menu:

Step 2 - Page Settings and Content

You will be presented with a screen that looks something like this:

Below the title, the current page location is shown. If shown, click the "EDIT" link next to it to access the page location options:

The current location will be shown in editable form:

• Space: The space which contains the current page
• Parent Page: The [USERGUIDE:parent page] (if there is one) for the current page

Moving to a Different Space

If you want to move the page to a different Space, simply choose the desired space from the drop-down list. You can only move the page to a Space for which you have sufficient privileges to add pages.

Note: If you choose to move the page to a different space, the Parent Page setting will be cleared, even if you then reset to the current space.

Changing the Parent Page

If you know the title of the desired parent page, simply type it in.

Alternatively, to search for a page, click the icon next to the Parent Page box - this will display a pop-up window that allows you to search for pages in a variety of ways.

Step 3 - Save the Page

Once you've finished making changes, just hit the "Save" button and the page will be moved to the new location.
