Hi @SSU 

There might be a solution to hide pages, parts of pages, or entire spaces, from certain Confluence users (and non-confluence users within your company), via a couple of apps.

The idea is to create a read-only static site from Confluence content that you designate to appear on the site.

You need three apps, all by K15t

• Scroll Documents - this is the framework for the rest to work on
• Variants for Scroll Documents - this creates your conditional content
• Scroll Viewport - this creates your site

Viewport is an app that creates a static website (or websites) from Confluence content. The sites can be public or protected via your SSO.

You can determine which spaces appear in any of the Viewport sites.

Using a specific label, you can exclude specific Confluence pages from appearing in that Viewport site.

Using Scroll Docs and Variants, you can designate which pages/sections of a page will be excluded from the Viewport site.

To give you a better idea - we have two viewport sites, one is public, one is private. Using the three apps, we can use a single space to create a public viewport site that does not feature internal docs, links to Jira tickets, internal notes, etc.

In other words, you create a presentation layer for your confluence content and you're in control what appears there and what is excluded - whether it's a space, a page, a paragraph, or a sentence. 

Disclaimer: I do not work for K15t, just using their products as described above.

@SSU Confluence currently does not have anyway to mask text. However there may be a few ways to accomplish what you are looking to do.

1. If the page does not need to be accessible or visible to others, you can restrict it to only those that need access. This would hide the contents from any eyes you don't want on the page.
2. If the space does not need to be accessible or visible to others, you can restrict it to only those that need access. This would hide the contents from any eyes you don't want in the space.
