Purpose

By default, the space sidebar shows Child Pages and a few other options like Pages, Blog, Calendars, Space Shortcut, and Space Shortcuts.

If a user or space admin want to show the Page Tree, and hide the other options, they will have to go to each space and change it manually.

Solution

• We can instead use CSS to hide the links that we do not want by default
• Use the Page Tree macro to add a Page Tree to the sidebar instead.

Steps

• To hide the other default options from the sidebar

• Add the CSS below in the Global Stylesheet (Confluence_BaseURL)/admin/viewstylesheet.action

  .main-links-section {display: none;
  }
  .quick-links-wrapper {display: none;
  }
  .ia-secondary-container.tipsy-enabled {display: none;
  }

• To show the Page Tree, we use the macro in the Sidebar, header, and footer section

  {pagetree:sort=natural|excerpt=true|reverse=false|startDepth=3|expandCollapseAll=true|searchBox=true}

• The result would be something like below, for all Spaces.
