Swap/Replace Confluence Space Page
Asked by Jason Golomb:

I created a page for a new project (or space) within my own personal space. I would like for that page to become a new project (or space) page, not connected to my own personal space.

Is there a way I can have this child page of my own become a default landing space for a new project?

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to have you join us!

It's not currently possible to create a space within a space, so I believe that you are referring to a page you created within your personal space. Is that right?

If so, you only need to create a new Confluence space, and then move that page into it. You can even set that page to be the new homepage for that space.

The process would be as follows:

1. [Create your new space in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/create-a-space-724764752.html).

2. Move your new page to the space you created. See [Move, Copy, and Hide pages](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/move-copy-and-hide-pages-724764858.html) for more information.

   1.
      > Navigate to and view the page you want to move.
   2.
      > Click ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/files/724764858/964953266/1/1547147832057/ellipsis.png)\> **Move** . The *Move page* dialog box appears.
   3.
      > Click ++Search++ in the left panel of the *Move page* dialog box.
   4.
      > Enter the new parent page name, make sure *All Spaces* is selected, and click **Search** .  
      >

   5.
      > Select the **Reorder** check box if you want to move the page to a different position amongst the child pages (when you choose **Move** in the next step, you'll be able to reorder the page).
   6.
      > Choose **Move** (If you're reordering the child pages, choose the new position for the page and choose **Reorder**).
   7.
      > The page -- along with any attachments, comments, and child pages -- will move to your chosen location. Confluence automatically adjusts any in-app links to point to the new location.
3. Lastly, set the new page as your space homepage, if you desire. See [Set up your space homepage](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/set-up-your-space-homepage-827106219.html) for details.

   1.
      > Click on the space name in the navigation, and click ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/files/724764596/946040245/1/1519863124095/newcog.png) Space Settings
      > to open the **Overview** tab
   2.
      > Choose **Edit Space Details**.
   3.
      > Enter the page you want use in the **Home page** field then choose **Save**.

I hope that helps, but let me know if you have any trouble at all!

Regards,

Shannon

body: Hi Shannon, I'm new to Confluence and I'm struggling with point 3. I can't change the home page to reflect the page I want. When I try to edit the space details - it's restricted.

Could you help please?
