Only create from template?

Question

Is it possible to prevent users (say, anyone besides space admin for example) to create blank pages? So whether they click the "Create" button or the dot menu right next to it, they'll be presented with the template selection dialog box.

All of our space organization hinges on certain labels being used, which trigger workflows, notify relevant people, etc, so it's really inconvenient that people can bypass the templates.

Hi @Marya Belanger ,

Welcome to Atlassian community. Thank you for contacting us!

At this moment  I am afraid this is not possible. The feature request for this already exists and you might want to vote for the below  :

* CONFSERVER-53447 Allow to configure behavior of the "Create" button
* CONFSERVER-33745  Ability to Remove/Hide Blank Page in Create Dialog

Work arounds:

As a workaround, a solution is that you could use the Create from Template Macro. On any page, you can include this add-on to ensure that users are creating pages from the template that you specify.

Also, You can promote specific templates within individual Spaces. See Promote templates in the Create dialog for more details.

Hope the above information helps. Have a good day. Take care.!

Thanks,

Srinath T

Hi @Marya Belanger , you can hide the Create button by placing the following to Confluence Administration → Custom HTML → At the End of HEAD Creating blank pages will still work using the shortcut c Hope that helps! Kind regards, Nicolai Edit: That's a site-wide functionality and can be done by Confluence Admins only.
