Page with no subpage is showing expandable.

[Cameron Loperfido]

Hi team!

I have a space with a page that is showing as a parent but with no subpage, is this an error or is something hidden causing this?

Thank you!

For anyone watching, I figured out in my case that this happens because there is an unpublished child page under the parent.

So far so good, but how do you get access to, and get rid of the invisible, empty child page :) 

[Cameron Loperfido]

I'm not positive but if you are a space admin you may be able to see it in the manage pages setting.

Any update on how to find and delete the unpublished child page under the parent? This is indeed mildly annoying!

Currently working around this with the copy page functionality and then deleting the page with the ghost sub page.

I would copy the parent page and delete the original in this case. This seems like such a minor issue; I doubt it's even on the dev team's radar.

Figured how to fix this — you just need to move any other page under the page with an invisible child page and then move it back. The expand icon should go away after that. 

UPD: Doesn't work, the expand icon appears again after refreshing the page:(

voting up for this issue, same problem remains

Page Restriction, and you don't have access maybe?

[Cameron Loperfido]

I'm working with the page owner and it doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks anyway!

@Cameron Loperfido I have seen this 'glitch' pop up in my instance over the past few days as well. I believe it's just a cosmetic issue as I know none of the pages that the expansion is appearing on have sub-pages. I planed on giving it a few days to work itself out before I open a service ticket on my instance.

I'm going to have the space owner move the page data to a new page and delete the original. But I'm glad I am not the only one seeing this happen. This post has been up for two days and I feel answers usually pop up by then.

Thanks for the sanity check!

I have the same issue, and it happened when I aborted the creation of a new sub-page, leaving it without a title. I also didn't publish.

Now I can't find the page anywhere, but the parent folder is still showing the expand button.

Very it's super annoying, so if there is any remedy, please advise :)
