Stop message about converting to new editor when editing page

rotem_rvcq9o

When I edit a page on Confluence I always see a message in the bottom of the screen that reads "This page can be converted to the new editor". I have no desire to do that, and I was not able to find a way to get rid of this message. This started in February or March 2020. Please advise!

Hey, thanks for reaching out @rotem .

As I understand, the message about page conversion shows up each and every time you edit pages using out Legacy Editor (tinyMCE).

According to documentation, this message should display only in the first page edited after the rollout reaches your instance. Here is an excerpt from our document:

When this capability is turned on for your site, you'll get a banner notification at the top of the first page you edit, and you’ll see a notification at the lower left of the page.

Here is the full document:

[Confluence Cloud] Convert pages to the new editor

With this in mind, I would like to understand a little more about the current situation:

Is this message present when editing any page with the Legacy Editor (tinyMCE)?

Is the message shown when editing newly created pages that use the Legacy Editor (tinyMCE)?

Let us hear from you!

Hi Diego,

Thanks for your response! You're right, this message does not appear when editing newly created pages. However, it appears in all pages created before the update, and it appears every time I edit one of those pages.

I don't know whether what I'm using is the legacy editor tinyMCE.

Hello there! You should be able to tell both editors apart by comparing the top portion of the page. Here you can see the differences:

New Editor – Fabric:

Legacy Editor – tinyMCE:

I would like to check with you if this is the notification about conversion that you are seeing in your pages:

For me, it shows up only when I am using tinyMCE as the editor. Would it be possible for you to verify if this is the same behavior you are facing?

Let me hear from you!

Yes! This is the note I'm seeing, and when reviewing the pages that show this note, their top panel looks like your screenshot above for tinyMCE, while for the newer pages where I don't see the note, their top panel looks like your screenshot from Fabric. So I think this is the same behavior as you're describing.

Just to restate the problem -- I could find no way of getting rid of this note, and it appears every time I edit these pages.

Welcome!
