Batch Demote/Promote headings?

[JRR]

I have a number of pages where I need to demote all the Heading 1's to Heading 2, and the Heading 2's to 3. Is there a more efficient way to do this than manually changing the paragraph formatting for each one? Thank you!

Hey JRR,

There's a little work around to achieve that:

1. Install Confluence Source Editor plugin.
2. Go to the Page you want to do that and click in Edit.
3. Next to the magnefier icon you will see a new button "<>", click on it.

That will open the page in the source editor mode, once your page is open you will notice that the header syntax is the following:

<h1>Heading 1</h1>

<p>some text</p>

<h2>Heading 2</h2>

<p>some text</p>

<h3>Heading 3</h3>

<p>some text</p>

All that you will need to do is to change the h1 to h2 and h2 to h3:

<h2>Heading 1</h2>

<p>some text</p>

<h3>Heading 2</h3>

<p>some text</p>

<h3>Heading 3</h3>

<p>some text</p>

Since source editor window have a find and replace all you need to do is to use that option do change all the <h1> to <h2> and do a replace all and hit save :).

Hope it helps.

Thanks and Regards,

Thank you David/Deividi. That's good motivation for me to bug my admin to let me use the Source Editor plugin!
