Find Archived pages

[Scott Baker]

I am using Confluence Cloud and cannot see an "Archived" button as described on the support page:

Find archived pages
To navigate to your space’s archive, scroll to the bottom of the page tree and select Archived.

Is this incorrect or outdated (or there is a problem with Confluence Cloud)?

Our administrator could not find the button either.

I know I can reach archived pages via Space Settings, but that seems to be a step backwards in usability. Is there a way to get the "Archived" button back or something similarly prominent?

Hi @Scott Baker 

It's strange I can't see the Archived button also like the doc is mentioning... Maybe Atlassian removed the button, I don't know actually... 

You can use a trick if you want: you can add a shortcut in your space sidebar and point to the Archived content URL. 

The URL is always as follow:  /wiki/spaces/SPACEKEY/archivedpages

You just have to replace SPACEKEY by the real key of your space. Then you will a shortcut in your shorcut list and you can call it Archives... or any name you want.  

Here is the documentation about space shortcut: 
https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/customize-your-space/#Space-shortcuts

I hope this helps.

Hi @Dam

Good idea, I will give that a go (once I have someone with shortcut permissions try it).

Thank you,

Scott

We were able to use this workaround which gets us the same functionality so marking this as the accepted answer in absence of the old button being restored. Just a shame it's not a default button across all spaces.
