# Bulk publish Confluence pages

To bulk publish Confluence pages, open the space's Publishing page. Use the **Publish** button next to Unpublished on the **Dashboard** to publish every unpublished page, or **Space settings**, **Maintenance**, **Publish all** to publish every page and folder. The run includes every matching page, however many.

## Before you start

| **You need**                            | **Why**                                            |
| --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Space administrator of the source space | Only they see the bulk buttons and Space settings. |
| Space administrator of the target space | A bulk run checks both spaces.                     |
| No other maintenance task running       | Only one runs per space at a time.                 |

## Steps

1. Open the space and select **Capable Publishing** in the sidebar (in the Suite, **Capable**, then **Publishing**).
2. On the **Dashboard**, select the button next to a status: **Publish** for Unpublished, **Update** for Outdated or Moved, **Retry** for Invalid or Failed.
3. For a first load or a full re-sync, select **Space settings** under Manage, open the **Maintenance** tab, select **Publish all**, then **Start Full Sync**.
4. Follow the progress panel on the **Dashboard**. Select **Cancel** to stop it.
5. Open **Audit log** under Manage and select the run to read its log.

## What happens next

The run lists every matching page first, then publishes folders and parent pages before their children. Blog posts are never included. Since 19 October 2026 there is no 250 or 1,000 page cut-off, although the button tooltips still say **Limited to 1000 pages**.
