Confluence 5.0 has reached end of life
Check out the [latest version] of the documentation
Labels are key words or tags that you can add to pages, blog posts and attachments. You can define your own labels and use them to categorise, identify or bookmark content in Confluence. You can see the existing labels, and the pages which contain the labels, by viewing labels and labelled content.
Removing labels in Confluence
To remove a label from a page or blog post:
- Go to the page that contains the label. You will see the labels at the bottom of the page below the page content.
- Choose the edit icon beside the list of labels, or press L on your keyboard.
- In the 'Labels' dialog, choose the X next to a label to remove that label.
- Choose Close.

To remove a label from an attachment:
- Go to the page that contains the attachment. Choose Tools > Attachments.
- Alternatively, go to the attachments view of the space:
- Go to the space and choose Space tools > Content Tools on the sidebar.
- Choose Attachments.
- You will see a list of attachments, with columns for the attachment name and other details. If the attachment already has labels, these will be listed in the Labels column.
- Choose the edit icon beside the list of labels.
- In the 'Labels' dialog, choose the X next to a label to remove that label.
- Choose Close.
When you have removed the label from all content, the label will disappear from the labels view in the space too.
Notes
- Deleted pages containing labels: If you have deleted pages that contain a label, you may need to purge the deleted pages from the space's trash to ensure that the label disappears too.
- Bulk removal of labels: There is no way to remove a number of labels at once, via the Confluence user interface. Instead, we suggest that you use the Confluence Command Line Interface. See the 'removeLabels' action described in the CLI documentation. For an introduction to the CLI, see this blog post: Confluence CLI for bulk actions like deleting or publishing pages.
