How to reorder Confluence pages
It's never been easier to move, copy, and reorder pages in Confluence. Learn how to organise your page tree with our step-by-step guide.
As a company evolves, how your team uses Confluence will also change. But you don't have to delete Confluence pages and rebuild them from scratch - it's easier to reorganise your spaces than you think.
Here's how to quickly move, duplicate, and reorder pages in Confluence Cloud, so you can keep your Confluence spaces tidy and easy for users to navigate.
Did you know? You can also copy and move other content, such as Confluence whiteboards and Confluence databases, in the same way you would a page. Just follow the instructions below!
How to move a Confluence page
- In the Content section of the space sidebar, hover your cursor over a page. Click the three dots (...) and select Move.
- In the dialog box, if you want to move spaces, choose your new Confluence space in the Select space dropdown.
- Click and drag the page to move it to a different place in your space. You can even drag it over another page to nest it underneath.
- Click Move. That's it!

Can you bulk move multiple pages to a different Confluence space?
Yes, with some limitations. You can move a parent page and all its nested (child) pages to a new space. You can also move every page in a space by moving your space overview page, which is a parent to all your other pages.
You'll be able to see that you're moving a parent page because it will mention "includes x children" in the Move dialog box (see below).
If you want to move a selection of pages but not everything in a space - and want to save the hassle of nesting pages - an app like Panorama for Confluence can do the hard work for you.
How to copy a Confluence page
It's easy to duplicate a Confluence page via the space sidebar. You can create duplicates in the same space or copy pages to a new space.
- In your Confluence space sidebar, scroll to Content and find the page you want to copy.
- Hover over your page, click the three dots (...), and click Copy. You should see a dialog box.
- (Optional) Use the Select space dropdown to change the space of your page, and use the Parent dropdown to choose a different parent page.
- Press Copy to be redirected to your duplicate page.
- Rename the page, press Publish, and you're done!

How to reorder Confluence pages
In the Content section of your Confluence sidebar, you can click and drag a Confluence page to reorder it in the page tree. There’s no need to press a save button!
- Dragging it above a page will raise your page, whereas dragging it below a page will lower it.
- Drag your page on top of another page to nest it under that page. This will make your page a child page and the other page will become a parent page.
