Creating a new page can be done by selecting the space or a page and
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.
There are several ways to copy pages in Space Admin
To copy a single page, select the page in your Space Admin Browser and
#tocContainer { margin-right: 15px; position: fixed; right: 0; top: 160px; width: 23%; z-index: 1; } |
The Space Admin Browser allows you to copy pages in several ways.
To copy a single page, select the page in your Space Admin Browser and choose an option:
The browser will open a window where you have to select the destination space and optionally the parent page. In addition you can dis/enable some options for your copy.
You can also define a page prefix or suffix.
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. |
You can also search and replace page names using a regular expression.
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 several pages with some of their sub-pages is possible by selecting the pages with Ctrl+click. Then choose an option:
Here you can choose the space where the new page should be copied to. In addition, the parent page can be selected same as with a single page copy.
It is possible to copy a page with Ctrl via drag and drop. Select the page you want to copy and pull 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.
Warning: 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.
Copy multiple pages with this option is not yet implemented |
Delete single or multiple pages including child pages.
To delete a single page select the page in the Space Admin Browser tree and choose an option:
A window will open. The option Delete child pages is enabled by default. If you don't want to delete the child pages disable the option. The child pages will be sorted underneath the top-level page.
You won't see this option if there are no child pages underneath the page you want to delete. |
In addition you can define if pages will be directly deleted without collecting them in the trash.
Deleted pages with this options cannot be restored. |
Press Delete to complete the process.
Like edit or copy, deleting multiple pages is also possible by selecting these pages using Ctrl+click, and then using one of the options described in the "deleting single pages".
It doesn't matter in which spaces you select these pages, because they can be deleted over several spaces.
A confirmation window showing the pages to be deleted will pop up. The Delete child pages option is enabled by default. Disable to exclude child pages.
Press Delete to complete the process.
Select the page you want to rename in the Space Admin Browser and choose an option:
Enter a new name and confirm with enter or click somewhere else.
It is not possible to assign an identical page name twice in one space. |
You can order your pages via drag-and-drop or with the move function.
It is also possible to move a page and its children 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. |
To use the move function choose an option:
A new window will be opened. Here you can define in which position the selected page should be moved.
If you want to find the differences between pages, select two pages via Ctrl+click and then choose an option:
The window will show you the differences.
As you can see in the picture Space Admin compares three different things:
The compare feature can be executed in two directions. It depends in which order the pages were selected. |
You can set a new homepage for your space by selecting any page in the space which isn't the current home page. It doesn't have to be the first page in the tree.
A little house symbol shows the current homepage. If you want to change it, select another page and click on the Set Homepage button or choose the option in the Content menu. You can also press h to set the homepage.
The little house icon will move to the new homepage.
Sometimes when you are organizing your pages it might happen that you want to view its content.
Select the page you'd like to view and choose an option:
A window will show you a little preview of the page you've selected.
The links in the preview dialog are disabled. |
If a page has any restrictions you can make them visible if you use the highlight page restrictions button or the Show Page Restrictions option in the View menu. All pages in the current spaces which have a restriction will be highlighted in red.
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:
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.
Pages cannot be published in the same space! |
The editor will show all existing labels from all selected pages, posts and attachments.
You can add new labels to all selected entities or delete a label from the entity where it is set.
If you use the set option, all existing labels will be removed and the labels in the input field will be set.
If you enter a label the editor will provide a list of labels from your system. If a label does not yet exist it will be created.
You can only add, set or remove labels if you have the permission to edit the page. |
