Creating Pages

Creating a new page can be done by selecting the space or a page and

• clicking Content and New Page
• clicking the new page button
• pressing n

The page will appear in the Space Admin Browser tree.

 If a page with the automatically generated title "New page" already exists in the destination space the creation will fail. First rename the old page with name New page into something more meaningful.

Copying Pages

There are several ways to copy pages in Space Admin

Copying a single page

To copy a single page, select the page in your Space Admin Browser and 

• click Edit and Copy
• click copy button
• press c
• use the context menu

In the now opening window a destination space and an optionally parent page have to be selected. In addition some options for the copy can be dis-/ enabled.

Furthermore, a page prefix or suffix can be chosen. When choosing this option, the pages names will be appended this prefix/suffix.

This is helpful if there is already a page with the same name on the destination space/page, which is not allowed in Confluence.

The page title will have then this structure: prefix + actual name + suffix. 

All child pages will also receive the prefix/ suffix.

By using regular expression, it is possible to search and replace page names.

The copied page will be listed in the Space Admin browser after the copy process is completed.

A new version can only be created in a different space. 

Copying multiple pages

Copying several pages with some of their sub-pages is possible by selecting the pages with Ctrl+click and 

• clicking Edit and Copy
• clicking the copy button
• pressing c
• using the context menu

The opening window offers the same options as the window opening when copying only one page.

Copying a page with Ctrl

It is possible to copy a page with Ctrl via drag and drop by selecting the specific one and pulling it to the place it should be copied.

The copying is done with default parameters and a copy of all its child pages.

An icon will show if copying is possible.

A page cannot be copied into its own child pages if the page to be copied has child pages.

If there is already a page with the same name on the destination page, then the newly copied page will be renamed and appended a consecutive number.

Deleting Pages

Space Admin for Confluence offers the possibility to delete single or multiple pages including child pages.

To delete a single page select the page in the Space Admin Browser tree and

• click Edit and Delete
• click the delete button
• press Del
• use the context menu

A window will open. The option Delete child pages is enabled by default. To not delete child pages the option has to be disabled. The child pages will be sorted underneath the top-level page.

If there are no child pages this option will not be shown.

In addition the pages can be deleted without storing them in the trash.

Deleted pages with this option cannot be restored. 

Deleting multiple pages works the same as deleting one page.

Renaiming Pages

Renaiming pages is possible by selecting the page that should be renamed and choosing 

• clicking Edit and Rename
• clicking rename button
• pressing F2
• using the context menu

The action will be completed by entering a new name and confirming by pressing enter or clicking somewhere else.

It is not possible to assign an identical page name twice in one space.

Sorting Pages

Pages can be ordered via drag and drop or with the move function so that pages and its children can be moved into another space.

Moving a page into a space with other pages with identical names is not possible. You have to rename the pages before they can be moved.

Pages can be moved by selecting them and 

• clicking Edit and Move
• clicking the move button
• pressing m

The opening window offers the possibility to decide in which position the selected page should be moved.

Comparing Pages

This option easily reveales differences between pages. It can be used by selecting the pages via Ctrl+click and

• clicking View and Compare
• clicking compare button
• pressing d

 The compare feature can be executed in two directions. It depends in which order the pages were selected.

The window will expose the differences. For this, different colors are used:

• Green: Someting was added
• Red: Something was deleted
• Blue: The format has changed

Viewing Pages

Viewing Pages in Confluence can be done directly in the Space Admin Browser. The preview of a page is possible by slecting the one and

• clicking View and Preview
• clicking the preview button
• pressing v
• using the context menu

A window will show a little preview of the page you've selected.

The links in the preview dialog are disabled.

Setting a new Homepage

A little house symbol shows the current homepage. This can be changed within the Space Admin Browser by selecting a new page and

• clicking the Set Homepage button
• using the Context menu
• pressing h

Publishing Pages

To publish a page choose the Publish option in the context menu of a page or use the publish button.

If you create a version the following will happen:

• the page which should be published will be copied into another space
• the current page with the same name in this space will be overwritten
• a new version will be created in the Confluence page history

This is a good way to maintain documentation for example. You have a public space and a private space with identically pages. In the private space you change the content of the documentation and can work on it without affecting the public documentation. When you are finished with editing and so on you can publish the new documentation to the public space.
