.

Restored page from target space Trash

The source space page retains the

Status
colourBlue
titleNEW
publishing status until a new publishing action.

Info

If the archived target space page has not been restored, any publishing action on the source space page will create a new page in the target space.*

If a new page has been created by a publish action, restoring the deleted page in the target space trash will offer two options

  • overwrite newly created target space page (and maintain sync link for restored page)

  • restore the deleted page with a new title (with no sync link to any page in the source space)

Note

Restoring a page from the trash may might restore the page to the root of the space.

* Publishing to a target space with an existing page that has the same page title as a source space page may cause publishing problems. You may need to rename pages or remove pages before publishing.

Info

A user viewing a page does not cause any change in the publishing statusstate.

Tip

Atlassian update events related to some of these user actions do not necessarily increment the Confluence version of the source space page, but a publishing action will increment the target space page Confluence version. For example, adding a label does not increment the page version in a source space, but publishing this change will increment the target space version.
