Link to the next page in the hierarchy

Martin König_ttyxn9

Hi All

I would like to add a link to the next page on the same hierarchy level at the bottom off each confluence pages. This is going to be a handbook and would make it easier for people for the reading flow.

Is there a macro I could use generating that link, so I don't have to change it every time I rebuild the hierarchy?

Thanks you guys!

Martin

Hi @Martin König

Use Anchor Macro to link the pages

For Cloud

For Server

Thanks,

Hi @Pramodh M

Thanks for your reply. Using the anchor would require me to set the links manually for every page.

I'm looking for an "automated" concept where the link on each page pointing to the next page in the hierarchy would be generated automatically by confluence everytime the page is beeing displayed.

Is there anything (makro or html code snippet) within Confluence supporting this?

Thanks

Martin

@Martin König

did you find a solution for your question? I look for a similar solution.

Thanks and best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael

Unfortunately not. We had to remove our idea and the buttons (Previous / Next) from the bottom of the pages. The effort to maintain the link to the next page for the whole page collection on the site would have been to much work.

Thanks for asking

For Confluence Cloud specifically, let's all vote for this issue to encourage Atlassian to implement the solution we're all looking for here.

Looks like it was last updated 27/Feb/2025, so here's hoping that a bunch of new votes will tip the scale for this to get built in the near future. Fingers crossed!

There is an app for confluence (See marketplace) called 'Previous/next navigation' created by Atlassian Labs. This however does not seem to work (despite a recent update to this app).
