Question

hello, We have a voluminous documentation in confluence, each of the pages has columns, we need to create a copy of this documentation but not all columns. So for example we have 60 pages, each page has tables with 5-6 columns and we need to copy these 60 pages but with 3-4 columns. How can this be implemented so that we don't have to do manual work to remove columns later?

I support this approach with one remark: because the page content is stored as JSON, meaning in a structured format, they can just remove the JSON entries that represent that unnecessary column. It is more robust and easier than working with regex'es.

@Victoria Sedaya the easiest way I can think of making this work would be writing a Pyton script to get the body of these pages and then use regex to extract only the columns which I will be interested in and then create those pages again. So in a nutshell, you may copy the pages by Getting the page body, remove the columns using regex, and then create them.
