How to organize Confluence folders that have the same name?

[Dan Spearing]

It appears that Confluence Cloud has a feature/limitation that prevents folders from having the same name within a space. I need a Confluence location that contains folders for different products with the same child hierarchy. For Example:

Product Rev A

• R&D
• Design
• Test

Product Rev B

• R&D
• Design
• Test

I know Confluence doesn't support this for some reason and creating unique prefixes or suffixes will get out of hand very quick. I can make separate spaces for each Product Rev but I really don't want to open another browser page to navigate, I have multiple Products with multiple Revs. Is there a way to get all my Products and Revs into the same space? Or, can I reference a Space within a Space (or a higher level container/folder) and see the contents within each Product/Rev in one "area"?

@Dan Spearing There is a popular third party app that somehow allows multiple pages with the same name within the space. They call it "Duplicate page titles".

(Because the limitation is rooted very deeply in Confluence, the app is probably managing unique page names in the background, but hides them for users somehow.)

Unfortunately, there is no Cloud version of it, but I guess it is worth emailing K15t, the app vendor.

Hey @Aron Gombas _Midori_ , thanks very much for mentioning our apps! Yes, this is possible with Scroll Versions and we actually do have a Cloud version of this app called Scroll Documents! You can try it free on the Atlassian Marketplace.

Here's a bit of information about how this works with the app and as Aron said, we're also happy to help answer more questions if you have them. Reach out any time: help@k15t.com.

That are your options in a nutshell.

You cannot reference whole spaces, you could only include the content of pages or add them as link. That doesn't solve your problem though. It's not a bug, it's a feature ;)
