Assume this is how I try to manage my document structure in Confluence:

SpaceA / SystemA / Requirement

SpaceA / SystemB / Requirement

 

I got an error: That name (Business Req) already exists in the space

Hello @Fariq Abdullah 

In Confluence you must have unique names to all pages, you cant use the same name more than once under a space.

Hey @Fariq Abdullah ,

By default, page names have to be unique on a space level. A common workaround is to use suffixes, e.g.

  • Requirement - SystemA
  • Requirement - SystemB

Regards,
Thorsten
