Hi Team,

I was succesfully able to archive the page by click on archive otpion but I dont have a archived pages button/option prompting in my page tree. How esle can i get the archived page back or how can I get the archived pages option to appear inmy page tree.

Thank you in advance!

Archived option should be visible on the bottom left corner of your space:

If you want to restore a page, then simply click "Archived", find the page and click restore:

Thanks for your quick response.

I have been looking for the same archived button but it is missing from under my page tree. (*Snapshot attached*).

I cannot find a setting to view the archived pages as well or to get the archive button. Would it be an issue because I am using a trial for a standard version.

Thank you again!

Although, If I go and edit the wed addresss and add archived pages to the web address of the page, i can get into the archived pages and restore/delete those pages that were archived.

I tried with the incognito as well, removed browser cache and restarted the browser, also tried with different browsers and different PCs but still the same issue persists.

Anything else we can do to troubleshoot this??? Thanks!!

body: They are supposedly moving the Archived button from the left page tree to the Space Settings. But although it *is* gone from my page tree, it is *not* appearing under settings for me at the moment. Maybe the change is in limbo?

Change is mentioned here: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/A-brand-new-space-navigation-experience-is-coming-to-Confluence/ba-p/2423015>

comments: author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: [@Lynn Stabile](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4442633) this change has been announced, but still hasn't started rolling out. At least I can't see it on the Atlassian blog.

body: I can see the archive under the space settings but not very useable. I work in a very large space with lots of people and lots of pages. I don't see everything I have archived and they are just listed by date.

body: Hi :)  
Sadly I have the same issue - furthermore, the hint with the edit from the URL doesn't work.

Do I have to open a support case or is there anything I could do by my own?

Thanks
