Copying secrets to another page

DECember 2023 We have released an improved version of Security and Encryption for Confluence Cloud with enhanced security. Check out the next steps for administrators.

Overview

When you create a Secret macro, it is automatically available as an entity for the whole space.

In other words, Secret macros belong to a space, and the page that you added the secret to is just a "location" where it is available.

When a secret is created, it is created as an entity for that specific space only.

This means you can copy a secret to multiple pages within a space. 

Copying secrets to another space - secrets cannot be copied to pages located  in other spaces, even if they reside on the same server.

Steps

Go to the page where the secret is located.

  • edit the page

  • select the secret macro

  • copy it (by pressing ctrl-c or command-c - Apple OS, or right-click → copy)

Navigate to to the page where the secret is to be copied to.

  • paste the secret (by pressing ctrl-v or command-v - Apple OS, or right-click → paste)

If you use the Finding out where a secret is being used feature, you will see that the new page will be listed under Location.
