Setting public links to "Blocked" by default

Is there a switch to set all spaces to "Blocked" or some other way besides having to go in and click on every 9000+ space to set this ?

Hi @pam_hite_wbd_com 

You can disable public links (ability to create public links) in Confluence settings.

@pam_hite_wbd_com See this page: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/set-up-and-manage-public-links/. There is a section on setting whether public links are allowed across your instance.

Hi @pam_hite_wbd_com 

Do you want to deny public link or anonymous access to Confluence?

If this is Yes, go into Confluence Administration and the Security Section, under global permissions you can disable public links and or anonymous access on global level.

Hi @pam_hite_wbd_com 

Are you asking how to make your spaces private or how to disable external links from inside your spaces?
