Purpose

When Confluence pages are not working as expected, it can be helpful to review the underlying code used to display the page. Support will often ask for this Storage Format in order to troubleshoot these types of issues.

• Clarification of terminology: If you choose  > View Source, you'll see the format used within the editor panel, not the storage format of the page.
• If you would like to edit the storage format for a page, your Confluence system administrator will need to install the Confluence Source Editor plugin.

Solution

1. Navigate to the Confluence page from which you need the storage format
2. Open the Tools menu by clicking ...
3. Click View Storage Format
   
4. Select all the text in the window that opens and copy the text
5. Paste the text into your favorite text editor
6. Save as a .txt file
