Greetings We have created a space in confluence called "Clients" under which we have multiple pages for both clients and their subsidiary companies. Here is what it currently looks like: Clients * ClientA* ClientA Subsidiary-1 * ClientA Subsidiary -2 * Client B* ClientB Subsidiary-1 * Client C What we now want (and need) to do is to remove the "Clients" space and convert all the collections of Client[A-Z] documents to spaces in their own right. Can someone point me towards the least-painful way of achieving this? Thanks in advance Nigel.

Answering my own question: * Create a new space named ClientA * Move all the pages (and child pages) to the new space * Change the home page of the client from ClientA Home to ClientA

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

We have created a space in confluence called "Clients" under which we have multiple pages for both clients and their subsidiary companies. Here is what it currently looks like:

Clients

ClientA
- ClientA Subsidiary-1
- ClientA Subsidiary -2
Client B
- ClientB Subsidiary-1
Client C

What we now want (and need) to do is to remove the "Clients" space and convert all the collections of Client[A-Z] documents to spaces in their own right.

Can someone point me towards the least-painful way of achieving this?

Thanks in advance

Hi Nigel,

I remember I also had to re-structure quite a lot in the past and it is painful if this is not possible easily. Quite often I spent so many hours figuring out how to do something "fancy" that I totally missed that I would have finished the job manually already a long time ago.

Perhaps it is good to estimate how much time it takes to run the job manually before digging deep and getting lost. I do not know it at the top of my head how to do this fastest / fully automated, but you could split the task and workaround as well:

Copy template space
Move pages inclusive sub-pages

I used the Space Admin app once and was quite happy with it: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214087/space-admin-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview

Cheers

Thanks for the input Markus. Discovered too late that the Space Admin only works with Server - not the Cloud version.

I did have more luck though following these steps.

Create a new space named ClientA
Move all the pages (and child pages) to the new space
Change the home page of the client from ClientA Home to ClientA

Everything worked! My fault - the first time around I did not realise that you can change the home page and as you type you are offered multiple choices.
