Setting the page order to alphabetical
Once you have moved one or more pages in a page family, the order is set to manual.
To restore this order to alphabetical, perform the following steps:
1. Go to the space and choose
Space tools
on the left sidebar.
2. Select
Content Tools
followed by
Reorder Pages
.
3. Expand the tree to find the page family you want to restore.
4.
If the page family is manually ordered, there will be an
A/Z
icon shown next
to the parent page.
5.
Click on the
A/Z
icon to restore the alphabetical order to that page family.
6.
Directly after clicking the icon, an undo icon will appear, allowing you to
restore the manual order. This undo icon is only available while you are still
on the tree view and don't change anything else.
Orphaned pages
An
orphaned page
is a page without a parent page or any incoming links. An
orphaned page does not appear in any navigation, so users have to know of its
existence to be able to search for it. This means that if you have content on an
orphaned page, it is very unlikely that people will find it using the natural
course of navigation. An orphaned page can be found using search.
Orphaned pages can arise when you are deleting a parent page. All child pages of
the deleted parent page will be moved to the root of the space. From that moment
the child page has become an orphaned page.
Especially in large spaces, it is difficult to keep track of orphaned pages. Confluence
allows you to view all orphaned pages in a space so that you can reorganize or
remove them.
To view the orphaned pages, perform the following steps:
1.
Go to the space and choose
Space tools
on the left sidebar.
2.
Select
Content Tools
followed by
Orphaned Pages
.
