Confluence: How can I create a template with children?

Question

I have a straightforward heirarchy, which is always the same, for my pages. I expected to be able to make a template so that, with one click, I could create a whole new page and its heirarchy - but this simple idea seems impossible. I feel very stupid. Help?

EDIT: I should have mentioned I am using the cloud version of Confluence. I don't have access to a server.

TIA

Richard

You could develop or hire development of a blueprint: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/blueprints/

They're not tremendously difficult.

You could also consider augmenting your product by purchasing an add-on that provides the features you need. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.nurago.confluence.plugins.treecopy/cloud/overview

This is possible because Atlassian products have a robust API and extendability.

Thanks for the clear though very disappointing reply. I added a comment and vote to the link you sent: confluence looks to be an amazing environment, but without this (I consider very basic and obvious) templating function, cannot work for us. Damn, damn, damn: it would have solved other issues of ours very well, but my pressing need at the moment is for a simple cloud-based document project system. So this is probably a deal-breaker.

Templates can't do this. Unfortunately the Copy Page Tree ability hasn't been resolved yet, although it has been resolved on Server so I'd assume this is close behind.
