This page tells you how to move a page which you are currently adding or editing. When you move a page, all attachments and comments on the page will be moved with the page. All child pages will move as well.

Using the method described below, you can only move the page which you are busy adding or editing. Alternatively, you can follow the instructions to move pages on the space's Tree view.

If you want to copy rather than move a page, please refer to the instructions on copying a page.

To move a page, you need the following permissions:

Moving a Page

To move a page within the tree,

  1. Make sure your page is in edit mode:
    • If you are creating a new page or copying a page, your page is already in edit mode.
    • If you want to move an existing page, view the page then click the 'Edit' button.
      Alternatively, you can go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Move'.
  2. Click the 'Edit' button next to 'Location'.

  3. A tree view opens, highlighting the current page in its current position. See screenshot below. Holding down your left mouse button, click and drag the page up or down the tree.

  4. Now you see one of the following:
    • A thin line between existing pages — This indicates the potential new position for the page. Release the mouse button when the page is where you want it.
    • A wide highlight over one or more existing pages — This indicates that you can drop the page into a page family. Release the mouse button to add the page to the family. The page will appear either in alphabetical sequence or as the last page in the family, depending on the family's sequential order as described below.

  5. Optional: Click the 'Done' button if you want to continue adding content to your page. This will close the tree view while leaving the page in edit mode.

  6. Click the 'Save' button.
    (warning) Note: The new position of the page is not saved until you click the 'Save' button.
    (info) To cancel the move while still holding down the mouse button, press the 'Esc' key on your keyboard.



To move a page to a different space,

      Alternatively, you can go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Move'.
  2. Click the 'Edit' button next to 'Location'.

  3. A tree view opens, with a 'Space' dropdown list. Select the space where you want to move the page.

  4. The tree view is rebuilt, now showing the pages in the new space, and the current page is highlighted in its new position.

  5. You can move the page to any position in the new space, as described above.

  6. Optional: Click the 'Done' button if you want to continue adding content to your page. This will close the tree view while leaving the page in edit mode.

  7. Click the 'Save' button.
    (warning) Note: The new position of the page is not saved until you click the 'Save' button.
