Hi All,
Does anyone know if there is a feature to change, en mass, the owner of a given set of pages?
When folks leave the company, they leave behind a lot of orphaned pages that don't get supported because there is no clear owner of the content.
Googling the question doesn't seem to provide a clear answer.
Looking forward for your replies!!!
@Roja Gurram this is now possible, not in bulk but one by one. See here for more details: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-Cloud-articles/New-Assign-and-transfer-page-ownership/ba-p/2396313

how do you use automations to do it in bulk?

Hey Stacy, i stumbled across your question trying to solve the same thing and I've managed to automate it out, steps below.

Hopefully this was clear to you/anyone else looking to bulk change ownership of a series of pages :)

Hi @Dylan ,
Thanks for your clear step by step instructions. I am trying to change the page owner of all pages within a certain space. The space includes very many parent pages (too many to count). Is there any shortcut to do this via automation?

A thousand thank you's for this tip @Dylan Moore
@Fraidy to do it to all pages, skip the parent part. To change the owner, just add an IF condition where the owner is NOT the intended owner.

Many thanks @Dylan Moore for sharing your solution. I changed the CQL slightly to ancestor = {page number} to target every level of subpage below the specified page. Worked perfectly, thanks!

@Jonathan Elliott glad to help! Thanks for the suggestion, didn't know this existed but ancestor is a much better way to query.
If atlassian could add a similar query in JQL it would be a game changer.

Hi @Roja Gurram
This is sadly not possible, even for one page it seems to be impossible.
Here I found a feature request:
There isn't a workaround for this.
