How do you archive pages under a space and all its contents?
Asked by Krista Dyer:

I want to be able to archive a page which has pages attached to it or are under that main page.

Is there a way to do this? or do you have to manually archive each page separately? Example:

Space X

* Main Page 1
  * Page A
  * Page B
  * Page C

I want all of Main page from A - C to archive together.

It is not showing the nested pages so it wont let us get all of it in one archive. We have to go through each one.

body: Okay, so on standard plan the nested archiving is not an option, you need to be on the premium plan in order to have that feature. This [KB](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/archive-pages/) has more information about it.

Unfortunately, I have now learned that we have a standard plan :( but I'm going to see if we can change that. There is so much cleanup to do on our site.

[@Mikael Sandberg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853579) thanks for such a clear answer.

You can enter a CQL to select the pages to archive and the background job (at its next scheduled execution) will archive *all* those in one go:

The automation shown above will start on each Sunday 00:00 (in GMT) and archive all pages that are in the "To archive" status without any manual work!
