If I create a space using one blueprint, can I then switch it to another type of blueprint?

I'm setting up Confluence for the first time, and it seems like there will be situations where I initially create a space using one blueprint, but then want to change it to another type of blueprint.

Is this possible (especially if I haven't actually added any content to the space's home page yet)?

Hi Angela,

No, it's not possible.  When you create a space using a space template (or a page using a page template) there is no connection between the space and the template after the space is created.  The template just tells Confluence to add/amend certain things in the space when it creates it.

As Chris said, if you want to use a different space template you'll need to create a new space.  However, the space templates don't do anything that you can't do manually, so if you've got lots of content in your space you can make the necessary manual changes to the space.
