Deleting pages in Confluence

[Mouna Hammoudi]

I am an admin in confluence, do the pages go to an archive when they are deleted? Is it possible to access this archive and bring back the pages if I decide that I want the pages and I don't want them to be archived anymore?

Hi, @Mouna Hammoudi 

Pages, after deleting, go to trash. They can be restored from trash, or finally deleted.

Trash is located here:

https://your.confluence.site/pages/viewtrash.action?key=SPACEKEY

Deleting and archiving are different actions!

1. Delete is a built-in Confluence action. It puts the page to a trash from where you can restore it, unless someone empties the trash.
2. Archive is an action provided by the Better Content Archiving app. It moves the page to a so-called archive space from where you can move back to its original location when needed.
