How do I publish a page on confluence overwriting other peoples edits in the process?

Rosie Gee

I am trying to publish changes to a page but can't because other users have made changes they have not published before me, one of the users is no longer with the company so cannot be prompted to publish changes or assist is there a way I can overwrite their changes?

I'm the administrator for Jira and Confluence so I feel like there must be something I can do?

Hello Rosie and welcome to the Community!

Dealing with left over drafts that are preventing you from saving work can be frustrating. We need a bit more detail so we can get your proper instructions.

Are you on Confluence cloud or server?

When you go to save your page, are you displayed with an error message or prompt?

I want to ensure we provide instructions on how to resolve this but want to avoid having you try something that may not match your issue. Once we have your answers we should be able to get you instructions on how to remove those unpublished drafts.

Regards,
Stephen Sifers

We're on Cloud and it comes up as an error

Thanks

Hello Rosie,

Thanks for the response.

Can you please send a screen shot of the error or the text the error displays when you attempted to save over the draft?
