How do I prevent pages's links being opened in the sidepanel ?

LV October 30, 2025

Hi,

I created a page in my own space containing links to pages in other spaces on which I'm working regularly.

 

All those links open in the side panel. How can I prevent that ? I want the pages to be opened as full page. And I don't want to do "right click|open in a new tab".

Is there a way to configure this at the space level ? And/or at the link-level ?

Observation: When I hover my mouse on any of those links, a little "Preview" is written.

 

Thanks,

@Barbara Szczesniak , @Nikola Perisic For some reason, since 2 hours, it does not behave anymore like this, and clicking the links just open the page regularly in the same tab...

Thanks any way for you help.

@LV This sounds like the new global preview panel feature has been rolled out to your Confluence instance.

To learn more about this feature, you can see:

I don't see anything about turning it on and off, so I'm not sure if it is configurable.
