Move &
Reorder Pages
The easiest
way to set a page's location in Confluence is to navigate to the space where
you want the page to live and, if necessary, find its parent page and choose Create.
Sometimes though, you'll want to change a page's location either
while you're creating it, or after it's been created.
You can also
move and reorder pages in the page
tree (hierarchy).
Set page
location or move a page
1.
Do either of the following:
a.
While creating a page – choose the location icon at the top of the page
b.
Once a page is created – choose
> Move
2.
Use the tabs on the left of the 'Set Page Location' dialog to
help you find the new space and/or parent page for your page (the Current
location and New location breadcrumbs at the bottom of the dialog
indicate the current parent page and new parent page)
3.
Select Reorder if you want to move the page to a
different position amongst the child pages (when you choose Move in the
next step, you'll be able to reorder the page)
4.
Choose Move (If you're reordering the child pages, choose
the new position for the page and choose Reorder)
The page –
along with any attachments, comments, and child pages – is moved to your chosen
location. Confluence will automatically adjust all links to the moved pages, to
point to the page(s) in its new location.
When
completing the New parent page field, you need to select the page
suggested by Confluence's autocomplete. Typing or pasting the page name (or
using your browser's autocomplete) won't work.

Reorder pages
within a space
You can
change the location of a page within its space, and reorder pages in the
hierarchy. This allows you to:
·
Move a single page, or a family of pages, to a different parent
within the space.
·
Reorder pages that are children of the same parent.
All links to
the page are maintained. When you move a parent page, the entire hierarchy of
child pages will move too.
To move or
reorder a page:
1.
Go to the space and choose Space tools > Reorder
pages from the bottom of the sidebar
2.
Expand the branches to locate the page you want to move.
3.
Drag the page to a new position in the tree.
Alternatively,
you can choose to order a group of child pages alphabetically by choosing the Sort
Alphabetically (A-Z) icon. The Sort Alphabetically (A-Z) icon only
appears next to the parent page if the page family is currently sorted
manually.
If you change
your mind, you can use the Undo Sorting icon to revert back to the
previous manual page order. This option is only available immediately after
sorting the page, while you're still on the Reorder Pages tab, and
haven't performed any other action.
Notes about
permissions
To move a
page, you need the following permissions:
·
'Add' permission on the page you're moving, and
·
'View' permission on the page's parent page. If you're moving
the page to a different parent, you need 'View' permission on the new parent.
To move a
page into a different space, you also need:
·
'Delete' permission on the space you're moving from, and
·
'Add' permission on the space you're moving to.
If the page
has restrictions, and you want to keep the page restrictions in the new
location, you'll also need 'Restrict' permission on the space you're moving to.
Alternatively, remove the page restrictions before performing the move.
