Can't create database in Confluence

[Andy Lingga]

First time trying to create Database with intention of creating a centralised change log for all pages in Confluence - unsure if there's a better way, but I can't even 'Create' the DB? Selecting that option just left me with an empty page and after a short wait, gave me an error that 'it looks like you're offline...' whilst I am still able to open, edit, access links, search etc. within Confluence and Jira.

I believe we are using the cloud enterprise product.

Hi @Andy Lingga and welcome to the Community.

First, ensure that Databases are enabled in the space.

Second, ensure that you have permissions to create a Database (if you can create and edit a page, you should be able to create a database).

You can create a standalone DB in the tree structure, or a DB can be a part of a page.

I'm using the first approach - it's similar to your use case. More about it here: Use Databases for your docs life-cycle management (updated)

The article may be a bit out of date in terms of Databases navigation but the gist is still there.
