Removing Noformat panel from page

[Beth Vinson]

I inherited a confluence page, where the person who constructed the page, used "no format" panels to put everything into. I have removed the text, and need to remove the panel. The panel doe not have a tab on it where I can click/delete, to get the panel off the page. I've tried to highlight it, back text into it to get it highlighted, etc., but nothing works. I just have a panel with no color, no tabs to click, taking up space that I need, and cannot delete or remove it. Any suggestions would be greatly welcome!

Hi @Beth Vinson I did a quick search in Edge and CoPilot gave me this info: removing noformat panel 

That would at least be something to try. Looks like you can mess with the source markup and manually get rid of it.

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much, @Dan Breyen   I tried that and was fairly successful with it. I found another way to do it, but I can't seem to get the photos to copy to the page here. It's going to "Other Macros", chose the panel.

To remove these panels, click anywhere inside the panel, then in the tools, select "Page Layout"  and select "Remove section"

I think I had a similar 'issue' once, and for me, duplicating the page worked. Like, on a duplicated item, I could remove elements, and then I used 'select all' method to simply copy things from the duplicated page to the source one 👀

Not saying it will definitelly work here, but might be worth a try...

Oh, that sounds very familiar with something I've done before as well. Sometimes it seems you need to just start over with the page, or actually duplicate it, make a copy, like you just described, and for some reason it then works. Go figure! I'm finding with both Jira and Confluence, that there are many different ways to do the same thing. I think I'll go back to old HTML, that I used to do. At least it's all one style :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond @Tomislav Tobijas
