Re-directing from one confluence space to another

[Falcon, Leanne]

I created a new re-vamped confluence space.  We eventually will be getting rid of the old space either by archiving and/or deleting the space altogether.  I can see that can be done on a page level or in bulk using macro coding.  I have two questions:

1. Can you archive or delete the page when you put the redirection macros in or does the page have to stay active?  I am trying to plan for the eventual archive or delete of the old page altogether if I can.
2. If I put the macro code on the Parent page will it redirect all the child pages as well or do the child pages need to have a separate macro code entered?

Hi @Falcon, Leanne we make the only Redirection app for Confluence cloud (Redirection by Easy Apps).

Are you referring to our app which creates a macro on your page?

If the redirection is set on the page it will remain when you archive the page. But you can no longer edit it. If you need to edit the redirection, for example to disable/enable it or change the target, you first need to un-archive the page then when the changes are made re-archive it.

Hi @Stavros_Rougas_EasyApps I found a macro code where you can use the edit setting to edit the source page to redirect to the target page.  I wasn't aware of an app to possibly set it up easier.  So, with that being said, archiving the source page is recommended rather then an actual delete.

@Falcon, Leanne you can evaluate Redirection by Easy Apps for free. Create a redirection on a page, takes 1 minute, then you will have a good idea if it is of interest.

Note: we are adding a bulk redirection feature in a couple of months. So if you have a lot of pages it will be great, this is a top request.

Open an Easy Apps ticket if you have technical questions or want to learn more about the bulk feature.
