Move page to the root of a space

[Stephen Kairys]

Hi,

I have a page located below another page in our hierarchy.

I'd like to move it to the root of USER GUIDE space but when I try this, the MOVE button is grayed out.

Pls advise how to work around this issue. Tks.

If you want a page to become the root of a space you need to re-assign the home page of the space.

Then be sure to re-order the other pages so you can see them, otherwise they won't show up under the context menu.

Hello Shawn,,

Looks like I didn't clearly phrase my question.

I don't want to replace the root. I need a hierarchy like this, with the page in question boldfaced.

SPACE: USER GUIDE

• Page: Main Menu
• Page: Platform Certification
• Page: FAQ
• Page (Category): Vendors
  • Page: Add Vendor
  • Page: Modify Vendor
• Page (Category): Accounts
  • Page; Add Account
  • Page: Modify Account
  • Page: Link Account to Vendor
  • Page: Platform Certification

"Platform Certification" currently incorrectly resides under Accounts and I need to move it.

Thanks.

As @Kristian Klima mentioned, just drag and drop the page to where you want it in the tree.  It can be tricky when trying to drop it to a page just under the root, you need to drop it directly on top of the page you want it to live under.

What do you mean by drag and drop? I attempted many ways of drag and drop and all of them show a "forbidden" sign.

I was able to move it using the Search tab.

Disregard.

Hi @Stephen Kairys 

In space settings > manage space > edit space details, you can re-assign the new root.

In space settings > reorder, you have some other options of moving pages around, including move a page ABOVE the root page, effectively hiding it from view :) This will also give you a better understanding of the root page concept and the overall Confluence hierarchy.

OH!

Well, just drag and drop the page wherever you like :) 

(you can do that from Reorder menu but why would you...)

[Stephen Kairys]

OK I've been having issues dragging the page farther up the page tree, it seems to end up as a sub-page of another page.

Accordingly, pls advise where the Reorder menu is.

Thanks.

Space settings > Manage content > Reorder

[Stephen Kairys]

OK I'm really blanking out here.

Where can I find Space Settings?

[Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM]

Are you an admin of the space?  If not it won't show up in the left menu.

[Stephen Kairys]

Not an admin.

[Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM]

You'll need to befriend the admin.  They can do this for you or grant you admin for you to do this.  Buy them lunch, most admins enjoy lunch.

Then you need to work with your admin to reorder pages - if drag and drop doesn't work for you.
