Silently Update Pages

Josh Wright_pfv18g

Is it possible to update a page without changing the version, modified date and notifying the watches? 

I am an admin and would like to make a bunch of stylistic changes to Confluence pages, such as heading styles, sections etc. but I do not want a bunch of notification going out and I don't want the activity stream to be littered with me modifying tons of pages! 

Any ideas?

Not quite.  That would defeat the purpose of having a wiki, it's supposed to track all changes!

But two things:

First, for the notifications, look at the bottom of the edit page.  There's a box for "notify people on minor changes".  Setting that right will stop emails going to watchers etc.

Second, you say your changes are "stylistic" - that makes me think you might be changing settings, rather than content.  Settings changes are not content changes, so they won't hit the history or notification.  Although my guess is you do probably mean things like "I'm going to change some of the h3.s to h4s, add content to sections, and rearrange sections", which is content rather than settings.
