Some page do not have possibility to add labels

[Marika Zimante]

What happened to the old way of adding labels to pages? You can no longer find them under details either. We used to make tables based on those labels. How can we do it now?

Hi @Marika Zimante 

Thank you for sharing you were unable to see the label options in the new layout beta and this is happening with the space overview page.

Indeed, we can replicate this behavior for overview pages only and not in general pages in the space.

For that, I have created the following report to our development team awareness:

New Layout for Confluence does not have an option to add labels to Overview pages 

Feel free to add yourself as a watcher to receive all updates in your email box and add any feedback and comments there for our internal teams reference.

Hope this also helps!

Regards,
Jessica

I just found the workaround until the Atlassian team fixes this issue, maybe it could be useful for someone else. 

If you are unable to add labels to your space overview page, you need to change settings for that space, promote any other page to "overview page" and add needed labels. Then switch back to the overview page. Labels will be added, but you will not be able to see them directly.

I've a related question:

It seems that in the new navigation one can NOT click anymore on the labels shown under the "details" (right bottom corner). Can anyone confirm?

Kind regards,

Jens

Hello, This has moved.  See my screenshots below then let me know if you have any questions. 

There is an i in a circle bottom right of the page, that opens details.

Here is no label option on ..Spaces/{}/overview page.

Hi @Marika Zimante and welcome to Community!

Do you mean adding labels to a Confluence page? If that's the case, you can add them on the bottom of the page:

Or, if you want to add labels while editing the page:

• Go to ℹ

• Then Labels

Also, you need permission to edit the page to be able to add labels.

Hope this helps!

I do not have Label option on Spaces/{}/overview page. 

[Manon Soubies-Camy]

I can think of two reasons why you wouldn’t be able to label the page:

• You don’t have the permission to edit the page.
• Or the page is archived.

Can you confirm whether you can edit the page and if it’s currently archived?

[Marika Zimante]

No. I am space admin and can edit page, and the page ist not archived.

I'm also running into this.

1. I have permission to edit the page. In fact, I created the page.
2. There is no "Add label" button. There is no label icon or display of labels.
3. I did find the labels option by finally finding the Details floating menu. However, having labels stuffed far away and not displayed on the page is very unfortunate and not usable. Is there another system of labelling pages that will actually display on the page?

Hi Matthew,

I talked to Atlassian support and this is not a bug, but a feature (I mean that labels are now "hidden" under “Details” and NOT clickable). I also asked a question about it here in the forum (see: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Confluence-questions/Is-it-no-longer-possible-to-click-on-labels-on-a-page/qaq-p/3021533 ).

I will open a feature request with Atlassian tomorrow and then post the link here so that you can possibly also vote for it.

Kind regards,

Jens

Hi Jean, 

I regret to inform you that this is not a feature, but an bug on the Space overview page.

It is problematic to use this page to generate additional filtered search results.

Kind regards,

Marika

Sorry, but at the moment it seems that I cannot create a new Suggestion for Confluence Cloud :( I can see the project, but I'm not allowed to create a new ticket in the "Confluence Cloud" project https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-81709?filter=98690 

[Jens]

The Atlassian Support was so kind and created a suggestion. If you like, please vote for it :)
