How to organize Confluence folders that have the same name?

Dan Spearing

It appears that Confluence Cloud has a feature/limitation that prevents folders from having the same name within a space. I need a Confluence location that contains folders for different products with the same child hierarchy. For Example:

Product Rev A

• R&D
• Design
• Test

Product Rev B

• R&D
• Design
• Test

I know Confluence doesn't support this for some reason and creating unique prefixes or suffixes will get out of hand very quick. I can make separate spaces for each Product Rev but I really don't want to open another browser page to navigate, I have multiple Products with multiple Revs. Is there a way to get all my Products and Revs into the same space? Or, can I reference a Space within a Space (or a higher level container/folder) and see the contents within each Product/Rev in one "area"?

That are your options in a nutshell.

You cannot reference whole spaces, you could only include the content of pages or add them as link. That doesn't solve your problem though. It's not a bug, it's a feature
