Move multiple pages to another parent page
Asked by Helen Ross:

Hi guys,  

I'm looking to move \~50-100 pages from one parent page to another. I don't want to move all pages that live under the original parent, but a large number of them.

All of these suggestions I've found only work if you are moving everything to a new parent.

Does Confluence have anything native that allows you to multi-select pages to move? I know you can drag and drop 1 by 1 but damn that's really not feasible.

Thanks!

I made a feature request for this before, that you can watch and follow:

* [CONFSERVER-38965](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-38965)

Otherwise you could copy them over with something like [Copy Page Tree](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.nurago.confluence.plugins.treecopy/server/overview) and remove the ones you don't need, or try reordering them from the [Reorder Page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/move-and-reorder-pages-146407727.html#MoveandReorderPages-Reorderpageswithinaspace) feature.

Kind Regards,  
Shannon

body: Hello Shannon, this is Thendralvanan here. Is the feature request complete? I have the same requirement to move specific pages from multiple confluence spaces to new space? is there any GUI or Rest API method to achieve it?

Additional questions?

I also would like to understand what core benefits are of creating Confluence space with JIRA integration.?

Can I integrate a JIRA site confluence space which are created separately? If I can do, will I get the same features as creating Confluence-JIRA together?

Can I integrate multiple JIRA sites to single confluence space?

Unfortunately, I don't know of anything for Confluence Server yet.

body: Not the best, but in the process of doing the same thing, I started out just clicking the "Move" for each child page, then selecting the new parent page to drop in under. Tedious....very tedious.

Found another way to do it was by clicking on the "..." of the child page and selecting "View in Hierarchy". In this manner, the file structure is displayed linearly and I could click and drag each child file to a new parent directory (located in a geographically-close folder). May help, may not....but it's better than all of the 3-4 clicks and searching I had to do with the "Move" option

body: another quick performance improvement:

(I have a bunch of old meeting notes from over a year ago I want to put into a "2023 Archive" folder)

1. Make a temporary folder in the parent folder ("2023 Archive")
2. Click the "..." and select "View in Hierarchy"
3. Click and drag the temp folder you created to the top of your parent folder so it is the first item in the hierarchy. I placed mine right above the first 2023 Meeting note page (i.e. "2023-Jan-01 Meeting Notes")
4. Now I can quickly click and drag the child pages I want to move into the temp folder instead of dragging it all the way down to where the temp folder would, by default, be added to the hierarchy
