Finding the source reference page for "Include Content" function

Allan Yeh

In some Confluence pages that someone else created, there is the use of "Include Content" function to embed another page. I want to find that other page (the "source page") but there seems no way for me to find it.

Kindly advise

Hi @Allan Yeh 

Welcome to the community!

Here are a few ways to identify the source page when someone uses the Include Page or Excerpt Include macro, especially in view mode:

• If you have edit access, open the page in edit mode and click on the macro. It will display the name of the page being included.
  Ref – Include Page macro 
• Without edit access, click the ••• (More actions) on the top-right → choose Page Information → scroll to Outgoing Links. If the page includes content from another page, that source usually shows up here.
  Ref - community post 
• Search a phrase from the included content in Confluence. Since the included text is not indexed on the host page, search results typically lead you directly to the original (source) page.
• Use browser inspect to check if any attributes in the HTML point to a page ID (like data-linked-resource-container-id), which you can plug into the page URL.
• Ask a space admin if you’re still unsure—they can help verify where the content is coming from.
