    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      It would be great if in addition to moving a page and all its children, you could instead create a copy in a different space.

      Workaround:
      Some Space Clone options can be found at How to copy or rename a space in Confluence

            [CONFSERVER-2814] Copy page hierarchy (including attachments)

            Not wishing to defend Atlassian Confluence team specifically as they can be very slow in implementing some improvements, but the server version is NOT a "work around"!

            Whilst we haven't upgraded our server instance to V6 yet, that does seem to deal with the problem completely with options for copying attachments, labels and Restrictions

            Please check the "resolved issues" available in version 6

            Copy page hierarchies

            By popular demand, you can now copy a page and all its child pages in one easy process. This lets you duplicate existing content, kick off new projects with the perfect pro-forma page hierarchy, or take a snapshot of important pages - the possibilities are endless.

            But that's not all, you can now also choose a location to copy to. No more copying a page and then manually moving it to another parent page or space. 

            Whether you copy into the same space or a different space, we give you the tools you need to modify page titles on the fly and control what's included in your new pages.

            Thank you for reminder and link.

            While I indeed need the server version most to have this missing feature implemented, one of our customers is using the cloud service, so your link is helpful to add a vote there as well.

            Dear Atlassian: providing a workaround is not truly "resolved".

            For those adding a "+1" on this feature request - please note that this page is for the Confluence SERVER version which as you can see from the top is marked as Resolved: 21/Sep/2016 7:53 AM

            Now, where can I vote for this feature to be included in Cloud as well?

            Dee, thank you for saying that, but you should be able to see that this issue was created about 12 and a half years ago, and if you read through the numerous comments you will see I'm not the first or only one to point that problem out. In light of that, your response was overly unconcerned and blithe. I have seen this problem from Atlassian many times for years. I have been a JIRA admin and tried talking to Product Management there about it years ago, to no avail. One time when I called to report unplanned downtime in the middle of the day, I even heard a party going on in the background.

            monica.bowen I'm dismayed you label me as unprofessional.I disagree.

            I saw a comment on a closed ticket for a shipped feature that I saw showed a user having difficulty using/understanding our product. I took responsibility to answer this comment. I took time to test the feature, and to understand the complaints that my customer made about it, I took time to respond thoughtfully and courteously. I have sought clarification of the problem.

            For any issues with Confluence, I urge customers to seek the help of our support team at https://getsupport.atlassian.com
