Issues with large number of pages

If a live template is being used for a large number of pages (e.g. hundreds or thousands of pages)

  • any changes to the live template document may take some time to propagate to all the affected pages as this equivalent to editing all the pages at the same time

This means end users may briefly see old content on pages instead of the newly-changed/added content.

Similarly, the new content may not be immediately indexed by Confluence, so it may not show up in searches right away. Confluence will usually propagate and index new content within a few minutes.

Info

Users who happen to be viewing the page when it was being changed may be prompted to reload the page.
