Copying a Parent Page along with Child Pages (and Sub-Child Pages)

Reed Van Rozeboom (DO NOT USE)

I am trying to duplicate a Confluence Page along with all of its Child Pages from one Space to another. I found this article below, however, the information found within it is either improperly documented, or outdated.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/copy-a-page-139013.html

Is there any up to date information on how to accomplish this? I am trying to duplicate a Product Requirements page that has a ton of Child (and Sub-Child) pages, and copying/moving each individual one is beyond time-consuming (and needlessly so).

Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.

Hi @Reed Van Rozeboom (DO NOT USE) ,

The one you have pointed in the description is the latest Atlassian documentation of copying a page. If you are looking for a moving of a page, here is the document for the same.

If you would like to check for a third-party app, here is the app Confluence Command Line interface that helps you to copy/move the pages and child pages along with the other contents of the page within no time. Please check this example page https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/10584066/Examples to know more about the functionality.

Thanks,

Hi @Reed Van Rozeboom (DO NOT USE) ,

I can see the checkbox when I select the copy option..See the screenshot. Can I know the version of the confluence you are using?

This is Bobswift CLI example page https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/10584066/Examples .You can try the copypage example from the sample commands.

Let me know if you need help with this.

Thanks,

Thanks for your response @[deleted]. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. The problem is that according to the documentation I mentioned here, it states:

Go to the page and choose > Copy.
Choose a Location for the new pages.
Select Include child pages.

The issue is at no point when following the steps have I ever seen the "Include child pages" option. So either the documentation is wrong, or perhaps this is a Permissions issue?

Also, I appreciate the links to the Command Line... unfortunately I am not that advanced of a User.

Thanks again for your response. Unfortunately, my Copy Page screen does not show that option at the bottom. Upon digging into this issue further, it appears that I may not have the required permissions to see that (and perform that task). I will reach out to the Admin within my company to see if they can make the required adjustments.

Thanks so much for your help!

Did you find a solution because I have the same problem on the cloud version?

Kind regards

Unfortunately, I never found a solution that worked for me. I chalked it up to a permissions issue, but yesterday in a meeting I found that other Product Managers also were encountering the same issue. One said she had Admin privileges as well.

Hello there

I am having the same problem. I thought it was a permission thing too.

I am unable to copy a whole page with the child pages, as I too, do not see a box that says Location and then the Include child pages box.

It simply copies the page and takes me to the 'Copy of...' editing page.

Hi @Reed Van Rozeboom (DO NOT USE) , @Nafisah Bhatty , @Kennet Korsgaard

For the cloud environment, this feature is not available yet. Here is the Atlassian request CONFCLOUD-2814 for the same and is in open state.

However, as mentioned earlier you can use the Confluence Command Line Interface (CLI) and is compatible with the cloud environment.
