Notes about the storage format
- You can view the Confluence storage format for a given page by choosing Tools > View Storage Format. This option is only available if one of the following is true:
- You are a Confluence administrator.
- Your Confluence site has the Confluence Source Editor plugin installed and you have permission to use the source editor.
- 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.
Clarification of terminology: If you choose Tools > View Source, you will see the format used within the editor panel, not the storage format of the page.
- Unable to render {include} The included page could not be found.
