    • 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.

      When you create a page in confluence, you choose an existing template blueprint and creates the page afterwards.

      This improvement would allow users to change an existing page layout to use another blueprint template even if the page already exists.

            I think you should reconsider, or at least provide a workaround for the following use case: we have a lot of people generating accidental how-to articles, and they keep ending up in root pages that list all articles and everything links to everything thanks to the "similar to" heuristics.

            My work around is this: create a new page, copy all the content, fix all the incoming links. Why can't this be automated?

            We've discussed this in the past and really is a big challenge with regards to how we manage existing content on the page and don't blow it away. Given the effort / benefit for this feature, I can't see it trumping the hundreds of other highly voted feature requests. Closing for now to set expectations. If demand grows we can re-open it, but given the many other issues, we will focus our efforts on that.
