Navigating Pages by Label

These instructions explain how to navigate Confluence pages by label. To start, you should open the 'View Labels' page.

Browsing Labels on the View Labels Page

After clicking a label on a Confluence page, you're shown the 'Browse Space > Labels' page. Here, click 'See content from all spaces' to open the 'View Labels' page.

Adding a Label to the Results

If you click another label, a new page loads, showing pages that contain both of the labels. You can continue to add labels to the results in this way.

Subtracting a Label From the Results

Once two labels are in use, links to subtract one label from the search appear at the end of the labels list. These are easily identified because these links have a preceding minus sign, like so: 

- fedex

Typing URLs To Find Labelled Pages

Here is an alternative method for quickly searching for labelled pages:

To search labelled pages by typing a URL,

  1. Open a new web browser window.
  2. In the URL bar of your web browser, type a URL like the following to search for multiple labels in pages: 
    http://CONFLUENCE_HOSTNAME/label/foo+bar
  3. Press Enter.
  4. The 'View Labels' page will load, showing search results on pages with the labels 'foo' and 'bar'.

    Thanks for enhancing the capability of navigating and filtering by labels. This initial release adds some great functionality.

    I've added an enhancement request to the label navigating feature whereby users would be able to "drill down" to a greater level of specificity then is provided in this initial release of this functionality.

    I encourage others to take a look at the enhancement request (CONF-11406) and comment and vote for it.

    My users are eager to use this feature but have been unable to as it doesn't seem to work for us. Is there a setting somewhere that should be set? I've tried putting in the URL in the address bar with the two labels or navigating to a related label from the View Labels Page - which gives me a url with two labels. We are running 2.10.1 and 2.10.2 and the feature doesn't work in either.

    Any ideas?
