Cannot Exit Edit Mode Without Publish

Nada Elsayed November 25, 2025

Cannot Exit Edit Mode Without Publish Users cannot leave edit mode without publishing changes—even if no changes were made. This incorrectly updates revision history and violates DIN ISO 9001 compliance (no revision should occur without actual changes).

Hi @Nada Elsayed ,

Do you observe this on normal pages , or on live docs?  Both look similar, however they have different edit behaviour.

Live-edit pages are always editable, and their versioning is implicit after a couple of changes.

Normal pages increase their version number after an edit and publish.

Unfortunately Atlassian is pushing live edit pages to unsuspecting users, and with that Confluence becomes harder to use for controlled documents.

As a remediation, you can convert a live edit page to a normal page.  However it is a manual process.

how can you give me the exact steps

no, just pressing on close is not helping. When you are in edit mode, but you change nothing and you leave the page with the "Close" button it still says you are the last one who changed something. Please try it yourself: open a page in edit mode, leave it without a change via the Close Button and see, who changed it.
