how to make an alias page in confluence

Christian Gandakusuma July 27, 2021

Hi there I'm creating a "How-to articles" in confluence. Im going to have different user journey flows, so that will result some pages to be repeated in other flows..  

I need to be able to create an alias of those pages. I don't want to duplicate it because if I change something on the original page it wont reflect on the duplicate pages. I also don't want to just have a link on the duplicates, I would like to have the actual content from the original page.

Use the include macro.  It draws in an entire other page into the current one.

It's as simple as {include: <space><page name>}

Type / in the body while editing to select a macro to insert.

Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- thanks so much it works!! Only one thing that won’t display, a video.

I attached a video in the original video page, but the video won’t show in the ‘include page macro’,  it’s just a url link

I think that depends on the macro that is supposed to be playing the video.  Some of them work in includes, some do not.
