Publishing overwrote the wrong page in the target space

What you are seeing

Publishing overwrote the wrong page in the target space.


#Why it happens

"Update existing pages by title" is on, and a different page in the target space happened to have the same title. Capable treated it as the copy, so it updated that page, moved it into place and linked it to your source page. Any publish link it had before is cleared.


#What to do

Turn "Update existing pages by title" off unless every title in the target space is unique and stable. Restore the overwritten page from its Confluence version history.

Publishing settings Structure tab showing parent content, page structure, space homepage and the Update existing pages by title toggle
Update existing pages by title is on the Structure tab, below the space homepage option. Switch it off here.
