How do you see and delete drafts in Confluence Cloud ?

unknown

Alright, so I know I've seen this asked before. But all the responses seem to be for DC and not for cloud. I have created a couple drafts by accident (clicking + when I want to copy a page, for instance) and then closing the new page.

What has happened is then the parent page gets a nice little arrow like there's content below it but when I click the down arrow... nothing. When I go to DRAFTS... nothing. How do I find and delete draft pages in Confluence Cloud? The side arrow is really impacting my OCD even though I'm pretty sure no one else sees it but me...

TIA

Hello @[deleted],

If you cannt see drafts in https://YOUR_SITE.atlassian.net/wiki/home/drafts, you can ytry REST API:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-get.

You can get the with 'status' query parameter, as:

https://YOUR_SITE.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content?status=draft

The same for space or branch level.

And after that you can send DELETE request by the draft id to delete it.

Hi @Andrii Maliuta!

Could you please advise if this REST API method (content?status=draft) still returns only my personal drafts? When do the call in Postman app it seems that I get only list of my drafts as I use Basic Auth with my credentials...

Is there a way to get drafts for all users or this is not possible via Postman and some sort if user impersonation is needed?

Thanks!

Hello @Anton Kozhin ,

Yes, looks like currently for Cloud Confluence in Rest API v1 the ``` content?status=draft ``` returns just current user drafts, but I suppose it is possible to first get the list of pages for the definite author and then get drafts for these page IDs.

E.g.:

1. Use CQL to get some user's pages:

https://INSTANCE.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/search?cql=type=page%20and%creator=%{USER_KEY}%22&expand=content.body.view.value,content.extensions,content.history

2. Loop through the IDs of the returned pages :

https://INSTANCE.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/{PAGE_ID}?status=draft

How I can achieve this in v2 API ?
