How to save a global template not as page but as a live doc ?

[GO]

Hi, 

I could not find an answer so I better ask the community:

How and where could I define, that from a global template in Confluence, not a page but a live doc should be created?

Thanks, cheers, GO

Hello @GO 

Unfortunately, you cannot set a page template as a live doc.

However, one option would be to create an automation rule that automatically converts a page created from your template, for example based on a label. This would require using an undocumented function via the REST API, as described in this support topic:
https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Automation-questions/How-can-I-use-Automation-to-convert-a-page-into-a-live-doc/qaq-p/3149292

That said, the easiest approach is to manually convert the page once it has been created: click on the three dots in the top right corner, select “Convert,” and then choose “Live doc.”
