The following instructions will show you how to view the hierarchy of pages within a space, and move pages to different positions within the hierarchy.

(tick) It is suggested that you use the new space that you created during the Confluence Opplæring (see 'Lage et space'). 

PART A: First, you will create some new pages :

  1. Go to the home page of your new space.
  2. Under the 'Add' menu, select 'Page'.
  3. A new, blank page appears.
  4. Click in the box near the top of the screen, where the words 'New Page' appear. The words 'New Page' will disappear. Type the following title: 'Book One'.
  5. Save your new page and go back to the space's home page.
  6. Repeat steps 2-5, but give your new page the title 'Chapter One'.
  7. Repeat steps 2-5, but give your new page the title 'Chapter Two'.

You have now created three new pages. All three pages are children of the space's home page.

PART B: Now you will view the pages within your space, and move some of your new pages into more logical positions:

  1. From the 'Browse' menu, select 'Pages'.
  2. A list of pages appears.
  3. Click the plus-sign next to the word 'Home'.
  4. A list of pages (i.e. children of the space's home page) is displayed. Your three new pages are included in the list, i.e.
    • 'Book One'
    • 'Chapter One'
    • 'Chapter Two'
  5. With your mouse, drag 'Chapter One' onto 'Book One'.
  6. Click the plus-sign next to the word 'Home'.
  7. A plus-sign now appears next to the words 'Book One'. Click this plus-sign.
  8. 'Chapter One' now appears indented below 'Book One'. Your tree should now look like this:
    • 'Book One'
      • 'Chapter One'
    • 'Chapter Two'
  9. With your mouse, drag 'Chapter Two' onto 'Book One'.
  10. Click the plus-sign next to the word 'Home'.
  11. Click the plus-sign next to the words 'Chapter One'. 'Your tree should now look like this:
    • 'Book One'
      • 'Chapter One'
      • 'Chapter Two'

In Confluence, you can organise pages into a hierarchy of parent and child pages. Pages in such a hierarchy are called a 'page family' (or 'page tree'). For more information about working with page families, please see the documentation. By default, a new page is the child of the page you were viewing when you started creating the new page.
There are three ways to view the list of pages in a space. You can choose to view:

  • recently-added pages only
  • all pages, in alphabetic order
  • all pages, in hierarchical order (also known as a 'page tree')

If the list of pages contains just the word 'Home' with a plus-sign next to it, then you are looking at the hierarchical order. If not, click 'Tree' (next to the word 'View', above the list of pages).
