When configuring the overview/home page in a space, the page tree on the right is hidden

[Alex Sarafian]

Hi all,

This is strange and I don't remember this behavior from prior usage with the data center version.

We have a space and we didn't have an overview/home configured in the space.

Up accessing the page, the panel on the right would show the level pages of the space. 

After configuring the home/overview page, yes the overview page is shown but the tree panel is missing. I need to click on pages, go to a page, and then the panel is shown.

We want the overview page mostly as a formality. The power of our space is in the contents and the ability to navigate.

I can't find an option for the space configurations. So, to actually have fast access to the page tree, I need to bookmark a page that seems silly, to be honest. 

If I try to remove the home page, then I get an error that it can't be empty. How do revert the home page configuration?

Hi @Alex Sarafian ,

Since the home page is created after creating all the content in space, other content pages are not mapped as home page's child.

• Currently I could only find a manual way of creating the hierarchy again.
  Go to Space Settings>Content Tools>Reorder pages and drag and drop all pages under this new home page.
• For removing your home page, go to Space Settings>Overview>Space Details> edit space details and leave Home Page textbox as blank.

Thanks,

Aditya

I am finding the same behavior in Confluence Cloud. Data Center instance allowed me to keep the Home Page value as blank.

You should definitely raise it with Atlassian Support.

That's what I mentioned about the removal. Doesn't work. After the field is emptied and you press save, you get this error.
