    • 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.

      Please allow us to change the "Create" button functionality back to 5.8 style. The "quick create" feature is too confusing for our users, and we want to encourage them to use templates, _not _blank pages.

            [CONFSERVER-44327] Disable "Quick Create" Button Feature / Change "Create" Button Behavior

            How long do you gather interest before responding or taking up the work?

            This would be a great feature to see at the Space level. Or even the ability to override the default blank page template at the Space level.

            The feature to configure default page template (launched upon create button click) is highly required in our organization - we have 2 biz units collaborating within a site and both require different standard default page templates. It will be very much helpful to allow system/space admins to customize default page for a space or a set of spaces.

            Hope to see this realized soon!

            A possibility to change the standard template for the "Create"-Button would be great ...

            I think it would be more interesting to be able to change the behaviour of that button to aim at a template on a per space perspective for example. So I can quick create pages from a prepared template by just pressing "C"

            I've used the following workaround to hide the quick create button and alter the remaining button so that it says 'Create' rather than shows the 'more' (i.e "...") icon. Works OK for me on Confluence (Server) v6.0.3.

            1. Navigate to Confluence Administration page >> Custom HTML.
            2. Click Edit.
            3. Put the following code in the 'At the end of the HEAD' section and click Save:
              <script type="text/javascript">
                AJS.toInit(function(){
                  AJS.$('#quick-create-page-button').hide();
                  AJS.$('#create-page-button > span.aui-iconfont-more').removeClass("aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-more");
                });
              </script>
              

            I hope this helps someone.
