# 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.

2. Run a search that finds the pages you want to change.
3. Select **Bulk Change** in the footer under the table.
4. Tick each page you want to change.

6. Under **Destination page**, select **Select destination page** and search for the new parent page.
7. 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.
