Finding the source reference page for "Include Content" function

[Allan Yeh]

In some Confluence pages that someone else created, there is the use of "Include Content" function to embed another page. I want to find that other page (the "source page") but there seems no way for me to find it.

Kindly advise

Hi @Allan Yeh 

Welcome to the community!

Here are a few ways to identify the source page when someone uses the Include Page or Excerpt Include macro, especially in view mode:

• If you have edit access, open the page in edit mode and click on the macro. It will display the name of the page being included.
  Ref – Include Page macro 
• Without edit access, click the ••• (More actions) on the top-right → choose Page Information → scroll to Outgoing Links. If the page includes content from another page, that source usually shows up here.
  Ref - community post 
• Search a phrase from the included content in Confluence. Since the included text is not indexed on the host page, search results typically lead you directly to the original (source) page.
• Use browser inspect to check if any attributes in the HTML point to a page ID (like data-linked-resource-container-id), which you can plug into the page URL.
• Ask a space admin if you’re still unsure—they can help verify where the content is coming from.
