Can I edit the sidebar in Confluence Cloud?

Is editing the sidebar an option in Confluence Cloud?

@Daniel McCraine Welcome to the Atlassian community

There is very little you can change in the side bar.  More information here https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/customize-your-space/

In my Manage Spaces control panel I only have Space Details and Export Space. How do I get the other controls? Is that one of the differences between a free and paid account?

[Brant Schroeder]

@Daniel McCraine This will be the same for all plans.  Are you a Space admin?  It sounds like you just have space export permissions and not full admin permissions.

[Daniel McCraine]

I created the space. I'm assuming I'm the admin. How would I confirm that?

[Brant Schroeder]

@Daniel McCraine If you created the space then you should be the space admin.  I am assuming that you are able to add and remove other users from the space.

[Daniel McCraine]

Yes, that's true.

@Daniel McCraine What are all the options you are seeing in the space settings?  Can you share a screenshot?

Oh my goodness, I feel pretty stupid right now. I created the space with a different Google account about 6 months ago, and then quit using that account! When I sign into this Space under that account I have all the controls available!

@Daniel McCraine Glad you got it figured out.

Hi @Daniel McCraine and welcome to the community,

A spaces sidebar can be customized but it is quite limited. You can hide certain elements, and shortcuts and reorder pages but that's about it. More on the link that Brant provided.
