Request to Hide Article Author Information

Автор контента June 9, 2025

Hello,

We have a question related to the use of Confluence.

In the local search system (Yandex), when a specific query is entered into the search bar, the results include a link to Confluence with our public knowledge base for clients about the product. However, it also displays the author's personal information (surname and name).Confluence.png

We would like to know if there is a way to hide the author information on Confluence pages. In our current configuration, the author of the article and other metadata are displayed, and we would like to remove this information from view.

We would appreciate it if you could provide information on how this can be done or confirm if it is possible in our version of Confluence.

If specific access rights or settings are required, please indicate what steps need to be taken.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

The page author can go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/profile-and-visibility and delete the public information there.  Then Confluence should not display it anymore.

However this is something each author needs to do.

Thank you for your recommendation. I have a question: I see that I can only change the Last Name and First Name in the text field (1), but the visibility setting is locked for me (2).

What could be the problem? Or was your suggestion for solving the problem precisely to change the public name, for example, from "Last Name First Name" to "12345", without altering the visibility settings (on the right)?

Exactly, change the public name to something like "author" or other generic name.

Some of these settings are also determined by your Confluence admin.
