After upgrading to Confluence 6.6, sidebar disclosure triangles are gone

Alfredo Jahn April 23, 2018

Our Confluence got upgraded last night. Today, in my sidebar, I can no longer open up sub-pages. For example, The "FWI - Digital Signs" contains many sub-pages. In the older version of Confluence, I was able to click on a disclosure triangle in front of the name. It would open up the sub-pages under it. Now, the only way to see my sub-pages is to click on "FWI - Digital Signs", which loads the page (which I don't like). Is there a setting to turn the disclosure triangles back on?

Also, there is no easy way to tell if an item has sup-pages below it. There does not appear to be an indicator to let you know.

I am on 6.6.1 and I also show parent level pages like this. We don't normally run this navigation view; instead we use page tree.

Try this:  Space tools, configure side bar, navigation display options = page tree.

This can at least be a work around until it is (or is not) addressed in a future release.

Thanks for the help. I don't see a way to configure the sidebar. I see "Space tools", but there is no "configure sidebar". Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

You need to be a space admin to access different configurations.

If you have a personal space, you can see how it works there. Also, was that a global change in your environment, or just on one space?
