How to hide content author name (created by) in a page

[Adam Wride]

Hi folks - 

New to Confluence here... how do I remove the author's name/etc from a Confluence page?  https://d.pr/i/xVewYv

It seems to be possible for Confluence Cloud: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-hide-content-author-name-created-by-in-a-page-701600769.html

Hello Adam,

Welcome to using Confluence. A few things you need to be aware of with Confluence Cloud vs Server are they are not the same parity level. Confluence Server does not share feature parity with Confluence Cloud. Confluence Cloud does have some functionality that is not presently available in server.

One of those functions that are not available in cloud is Stylesheets:

Look and feel

Layouts
Custom CSS

On Atlassian Cloud, Confluence uses a custom theme, which cannot be modified or updated using custom HTML or CSS (not supported). For more information on custom themes in Confluence Cloud, refer to  Working with Themes . Confluence Cloud Developer community: You can also create your own theme for Confluence Cloud. Check out the  Theme page  in our Confluence Cloud Developer documentation.

You can find more information about the differences between Confluence cloud and server at the following:

Functional differences in Confluence Cloud
Atlassian Cloud vs. Server: Features and use cases

Your options for customizing the look and feel of confluence are restricted to the following:

Changing the Look and Feel of Confluence
Customize your Space

With all this said, you will not be able to (as of the date of this post) edit your global stylesheets. If you would like to request this as a feature you are welcome to do so, Create feature request.

I hope this clarifies the capabilities of Confluence cloud vs server

I followed the link you provided for the "Create feature request" but I failed to create it due to a permissions error: https://d.pr/i/D4RPoN
