Hi there
Is there any way to stop users from copying content from confluence?
For example, copying the whole page to clip board and pasting it somewhere else
We're trying to avoid having our content copied off , or at least make it more difficult
thanks

No. It's browser based, so there's always a way to copy the data on the page.
Hi Nic,
Thanks for the quick response. Can you help me one step further?
My partners think this is possible because out wordpress based web page has protection set up where text and images cannot be copied off.
How would you answer them?
Thanks in advance
MD

It's probably a set of "user select" settings in the css or some javascript hackery.
The reason I say "there's always a way" is that a browser can easily be told to ignore pieces of css and javascript. You can make it harder, but it's still a doddle to bypass with a quick google search and a standard browser.

See if this is good enough; it might not work with all browsers or for all time, or stop someone who is really intent and clever enough to copy the text:
Add code to the body of the macro:
.noselect { -webkit-touch-callout: none; /* iOS Safari */ -webkit-user-select: none; /* Chrome/Safari/Opera */ -khtml-user-select: none; /* Konqueror */ -moz-user-select: none; /* Firefox */ -ms-user-select: none; /* IE/Edge */ user-select: none; /* non-prefixed version, currently not supported by any browser */ }
