Anonymous Users - controlling what they see

Question

I am evaluating Confluence as a Knowledgebase / Help Centre for our customers.

I would like to know if certain elements of the pages anonymous users see can be hidden.

Ideally I would like to issue specific page links and not allow the user to access other pages.

Is it possible to :-

1. Hide the sidebar

2. Hide Header bar (with Home Spaces Apps Templates Create on.)

3. On the More Actions menu only access to export to PDF and nothing else.

4. Hide Created by, Last Updated etc under the page title.

NB I am evaluating the Cloud version

Ok Thanks.

I had already disabled anonymous access

@Rhonda Ridge

Public Links is a really new feature, and this is a common issue. I know they can't be enabled while Anonymous Access is. Try disabling Anonymous Access on the site-wide leve and see if the setting for Public Links appears.

If this doesn't work for you, one post I read mentioned having to open a case with Atlassian to fix this.

Let me know it this works for you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

Using the Public Links help page you supplied I have searched and searched the settings and can find no Public Links option in the Confluence Settings.

Has it been moved or is it unavailable on a trial version?

The documentation on this appears slightly out of date.

I'd like to try this first as it seems the simplest option.
