This page describes how to navigate Confluence pages by label. To start, you should open the 'View Labels' page.

Click a label on a Confluence page to see a list of all pages in the space with that label. Click See content from all spaces to include content from all spaces of the Confluence site..

If you click a label from the Related Labels list (at the top left), a new page loads, showing pages that contain both of the labels. You can continue to add labels to the results in this way.

Once two labels are in use, links to subtract a 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:

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 address bar of your web browser, type an URL such as:

    http://CONFLUENCE_HOSTNAME/label/foo+bar 

  3. Press Enter.

  4. The 'View Labels' page will load, showing search results for 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?

      This feature should be working. Can you raise a support request at https://support.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa. A Support Engineer will be able to help diagnose the problem.

      Thanks,
