Move many Confluence pages to a new parent

To move many Confluence pages to a new parent, run a search in Capable Search, select Bulk Change and tick the pages. Open the Change N pages menu, choose Move pages, pick the new parent under Destination page and select Move pages. Each page becomes a child of that page.

#Before you start

You need	Why
Capable Search installed	The app is part of Capable Search for Confluence and the Capable Suite.
A wide enough window	Bulk Change is hidden on narrow screens such as phones.
Permission to move the pages	You need to be able to edit the pages and add pages under the destination.

#Steps

Open Capable Search: select Capable Search in the space sidebar or the Apps menu (in the Suite, Capable, then Search).
Run a search that finds the pages you want to change.
Select Bulk Change in the footer under the table.
Tick each page you want to change.
Open the Change N pages menu and select Move pages.
Under Destination page, select Select destination page and search for the new parent page.
Select Move pages and wait for every page to finish.

#What happens next

The selected pages become children of the destination page, and their own child pages move with them. A page cannot be moved under itself; it is listed as failed.
