Hide Data

Question

Good afternoon.

We need to hide data about pages (spaces) from anonymous users:
Who created it (the author)
Who edited it
Recent changes
Versions

How can this be done?

Hi @Алексей Викторович Васильев,

Going with Custom CSS or an app like HideElements for Confluence, as @Nicolai Sibler suggested, is a way to visually achieve what you want.

However, depending on your use case, this might not be sufficient. If the reason for doing this is for example compliance with some sort of regulation, you should be aware that all the information is still there and anyone with a basic level of web dev skills will still be able to access all of it.

If you are looking to remove these elements for compliance and/or want to publicly present the content in your Confluence to an audience, I'd recommend taking a look at an app by my team at K15t: Scroll Viewport for Confluence. With it, you can publish your Confluence space(s) in a separate view and have full control over what users shall see or not.

If you want examples of what a live Scroll Viewport site looks like, you could take a look at the K15t help center. In fact, even the article about Custom CSS also linked above is served via Scroll Viewport. If you want to give it a shot and have any questions about the app, let me know!

Hope this helps! :)

Cheers,
Sven

Hi Alexej,

please check out these KB pages (as a start for further research, as both of them don't exactly match your query):
