I have admin permissions but I'm struggling to find an option to disable pdf exports for spaces and pages within the settings. I've consulted numerous guides but they seem to be outdated as they point me to settings that don't exist.

Hi @Chen_ Hao Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

On a space level, the Confluence/Space Admin can deselect the Export space permission for the users/groups within that space.

User can export the whole space. (Page-level export is governed by the "View" permission. anyone who can view a page can also export it.)

Hi Dave, 

 

Thank you for replying! Export has been de-selected for all users but we are trying to prevent page-level exports. I'll have to look into other methods. 

 

Appreciate it!

 

Best,

Hao

Hello @Chen_ Hao ! Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

As far as I know, Org Admins can prevent export of Confluence pages if they are using Atlassian Guard Standard.
