   SINCE VERSION 3.0

You might need add, view and delete permissions to copy or move a page. See details.

It is possible to move and copy Confluence pages with attached metadata. This page describes which conditions must be met and how the behavior differs for different scenarios.

Within the same Space

When moving or copying pages with metadata within the same space, attached metadata are copied/moved as well.

Between different Spaces

Move

To move a page with attached metadata to a different space, the attached sets and fields have to exist in the new space. If the configuration does not match, you will not be able to move the page so you won't lose important information.

Configure the missing sets/fields in the new space to be able to move the page. The configuration must match exactly.

Copy

Precondition: Make sure that the metadata configuration in the target space matches that of the original space. Alternatively, you can add missing metadata after copying the page.

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : User 'null' does not have permission to view the page 'KB:Metadata gets lost when I copy a page'.

You may use the Bulk Change or Export/Import options to add missing metadata.

You will need admin permissions to create metadata, perform a bulk change or use export/import.
