How to copy a complete page hierarchy without links

Aakash July 15, 2019

For example, I copy the directory Trees in confluence from a German manual to a separate space, because the page hierarchy should remain the same. The links and sublinks are also copied. In the edit mode,  I would have to manually go to each subitem. Is there a way to solve all links automatically?
As soon as I enter the English terms in the copied tree  page hierarchy (also in the copied subdirectories), the German content in the German manual changes to the directory Tree, which I copied.
Hope that was more understandable?

Arun,

If i understand you correctly, you should not include child pages when you copy over the structure. This should be achieved by simply NOT checking, child pages.

Hi Victor,

thanks for your answer! Actually I want to use the copied tree  page hierarchy (also in the copied subdirectories) in order to edit it but the copied link refer to the original tree which contents i do not want to change. Any idea how to achieve this? Bests Arun

Arun,

Once copied, the pages are delinked from the original and now have URLS of new spaces. The page names are same but the path of the pages is different reflecting new space.

Victor,

but unfortunately in the present case when I edit the Content of the copied trees - the changes are all visible in the original tree that i had copied from.

Arun,

Even if they're visible, they're detached from the original and vice versa.

Your copied content is independent from the original.

Arun,

I'm confused. As per the documentation, the different spaces have the same content but with different URL paths which  aren't connected.

May be the documentation mentions this, but in reality it did not work. Arun

Arun,

I've experience with confluence and also copying of pages as well as entire spaces and I've never encountered such issues.
