Edit or remove versionb history pages

[Maria Scotti]

Would like to update/delete version history pages, however the delete/edit option is not available. Who do we contact to get admin access to have these modified/deleted?

There are passwords listed in these pages that require removal for pentest risk raised.

Thanks, Maria.

HI @Maria Scotti 

@Arkadiusz Wroblewski is correct.

If you cannot see this in the page history panel, contact your Confluence/Space admin and request to remove specific versions.

Golden Rule - Try Solve problem first before you grab workaround 🤭

No thanks. As my Mentor said, "Make Love, not Warcraft" :D

Hello @Maria Scotti 

@Ollie Guan  You have right but I see here other problem...

Since the Delete option is missing in page history, this looks more like a permissions/admin access issue. Atlassian documents that page versions can be deleted from Version history, but only if the required access is available. 

Because the page history contains passwords, I would not treat this as a normal page-edit request. I would escalate it to your Confluence site admin / space admin / internal Atlassian support team so they can remove the affected page versions, or use Atlassian’s redaction capability if available in your organization.

Hi @Maria Scotti ,

Another practical workaround is:

Copy the page, clean it, then delete the original.

• Create a copy of the current page.

• Before publishing the new page, remove or mask all sensitive information (such as passwords) in the copy.

• Publish this new, “clean” page.

• Then delete the original page that contains the sensitive data.

• This way, your team keeps a usable knowledge page, but the page (and its history) with sensitive information is removed.
