Ability to Archive Parent Pages (+ Children)

Carl_v9by0v

Currently, when you want to archive a page, it only archives the page and leave all of the children separated from it. I would like to be able to Archive a parent page and have all of it's children become archived as well.

Ideally It would be archived the same way so that if I wanted to restore it it would restore it back in the same folder structure.

Thanks

+1 to this. It's extremely difficult to tidy up a space with multiple child pages that you want to archive at the same time without spending an inordinate amount of time archiving each individual page.

Yes! It is extremely disappointing that the ability to archive parent + child pages is available in only the premium version of Confluence.

It should be part of Standard.

+1 Please add this feature to all versions - it should be standard.

Little Workaround in the meanwhile, if your focus is on getting rid of the pages:

Set up an "Archiving"-Space and move the page to this space (including its children)

Better Content Archiving for Confluence is a dedicated app for Confluence content lifecycle management and archiving: you can automate archiving a single Confluence page or a page together with their child pages. You can archive periodically or based on usage metrics like the last view date or last edit date.

Automatic notifications can also be sent out without any archiving happening, so Confluence content owners can take action (update) before any content is archived.

You can implement the review workflow with reminders or retention policies your organization demands.

If standard archiving is too limited, you might check out Breeze, available via the Atlassian Marketplace.

It implements automated review and archiving workflows and provides dedicated views for outdated pages ready to review or archive (in bulk).

In addition, its feature set includes

automated content analyses,
page review and archiving workflows,
page and space ownership,
reports and notifications,
bulk archiving and deletion,
analytics,
data export
and more to update outdated pages quickly and enhance collaboration.

👉 To anyone interested, feel free to give it a try or schedule an appointment with me for a personal demo.

Cheers, Adrian from B1NARY (the developers of Breeze)
