After sorting child pages alphabetically, how do I save?

[Cameron Williams]

I followed the page that explains how to change the order of child pages in confluence. But that page doesn't explain how to save the new order. There is no "Save" button shown.

@Stefan Kohler thank you. It turns out one of the pages I did not have "Edit" rights to... so once I was added, this worked for me.

Hi @Cameron Williams,

The changes in the page order are saved directly. There is no need for an additional save button. On the other side, be aware that changes do affect Confluence directly :)

Hope this helps,

Stefan

Hi @Stefan Kohler

Thank you for your response. However, the pages are not sorting alphabetically. Once I leave the "Reorder Pages" tab in the space settings, it reverts back to the original order they were in, and the side bar doesn't change at all. Is there something else I am missing?

Hi @Cameron Williams,

That is unfortunate as it should work as you describe. I assume you have the right permissions:

• 'Add' permission on the page you're moving, and
• 'View' permission on the page's parent page. If you're moving the page to a different parent, you need 'View' permission on the new parent. 

It could be something else is wrong, maybe a system administrator at your end could have a look at logs. Also, if possible it is worth trying a different browser, just to rule that out.

Cheers,
Stefan
