How do I create a parent page?

Hi @Anthony Grubbs ,

you can create a page and then move it in your desired position through reorder pages (https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/move-copy-and-hide-pages/)

Hi @Anthony Grubbs ,

When you open a space and then click on "Create" button in the main menu, by default the new page is created under the last page you had opened. 

To avoid this, when you click on Create button, you can see action menu (3 dots) near the Close button. Click on it & then click Move. Here you can select under which parent page you need the new page to be created or No parent. 

Suppose if any pages you want to move away from one of the parent pages, then you can go to Space settings --> Manage page --> Reorder. 

Please note about required permisisons:

To move page in current space, you need

• permission to View content in the space

• permission to View any page or pages you want to move

• permission to Add pages in the space

  • If you don't have the add permission, the Move option won't appear in the menu.

• permission to Delete pages in the space

  • You can move any pages you created yourself if you have the Delete Own permission.

This is a good read to know more about move, copy: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/move-copy-and-hide-pages/

You just create a page.

There's no way to create child pages without a parent page, so every page you create is automatically a parent page.

It is possible to remove a parent page and not kill off its child pages, but if you do that, the child pages simply move to the root of the space, and to create a new parent page for them, you just create another page.

I think when you want to look at is creating a page in the right place and then simply moving all your archive pages underneath it (probably most easy to do from space-admin -> content -> page tree)
