In-Depth Information
From the
Orphaned Pages
screen you can edit or delete the page. If you want to
move the page and give it a parent page, it is easier to use the
Reorder Pages
feature
discussed earlier. The alternative is to go to
Tools
|
Move
from the page in viewing
mode, with the advantage that you are able to move the page to another space.
Orphaned pages aren't necessarily bad
It's not uncommon to have one or more orphaned pages being used
as placeholders for attachments or information that is used on many
other pages. With the "include" macro, these orphaned pages can be
included in those pages. If then, the information changes, you only
have to update one page.
Archiving a space
Some spaces might contain information that is not relevant anymore. For example,
when you use Confluence to write a user documentation and have a space per
product version, or a project is finished and the space is no longer needed.
Archiving a space will keep the content available in Confluence but it will be less
visible than before. If a space is archived:
• The pages and other content do not appear in the suggestion list when using
the Confluence search box.
• The pages and other content do not appear in any search results unless it is
specified to also include archived spaces.
• The space isn't listed on the dashboard.
• Any updates to the space's content will not appear in the various
activity streams.
