How do I delete a page in Confluence? If you’re working with Confluence and need to remove a page, it’s important to understand the process to ensure that you don’t delete anything important by accident. This article will guide you through the steps to safely delete a page in Confluence, whether it’s a single page or multiple pages in a space.
Deleting a page in Confluence is a straightforward process, but it’s essential to proceed with caution. Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary permissions to delete pages in the space you’re working in. If you’re unsure about your permissions, consult with your space administrator or check the space settings.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to delete a page in Confluence:
1. Log in to your Confluence instance and navigate to the space where the page you want to delete is located.
2. Click on the “Pages” link in the sidebar to view the list of pages in the space.
3. Find the page you want to delete and click on its title to open it.
4. Once the page is open, click on the “Edit” button at the top of the page.
5. In the page editor, click on the “More” button (represented by three dots) in the top-right corner of the editor.
6. From the dropdown menu, select “Delete Page.”
7. A confirmation dialog will appear, asking you to confirm the deletion. Make sure you’ve selected the correct page, as this action cannot be undone.
8. Click “Delete” to confirm the deletion.
If you need to delete multiple pages at once, you can follow these steps:
1. In the “Pages” view, select the pages you want to delete by clicking the checkbox next to each page title.
2. Click on the “More” button (represented by three dots) in the top-right corner of the page list.
3. From the dropdown menu, select “Delete.”
4. The confirmation dialog will appear, asking you to confirm the deletion of the selected pages. Review your selection and click “Delete” to confirm.
Remember that deleting a page in Confluence will permanently remove it from the space. If you need to keep the content of the page for future reference, consider copying the content to another page or space before deleting the original page.
By following these steps, you can safely delete pages in Confluence without the risk of losing important information. Always double-check your selections and confirm the deletion before proceeding to avoid any unintended consequences.
