# Change the URL of a page on a published Confluence site

To change the URL of a page on a published Confluence site, open the site in Capable Sites, choose **Pages**, select the page, open **More details** and type a new **Slug**. Select **Save metadata**, then Update and Promote. The page moves to its new address, and the old address forwards visitors there automatically.

## Before you start

* You need to be a Confluence admin or a collaborator on the site.
* By default a page's address comes from its title, such as `/docs/getting-started`. The slug is the last part.
* To move a whole space, change its URL slug in **Settings** \> **Spaces & URLs** instead. That needs an admin, and old space addresses are not redirected for you.

## Steps

1. Open Capable, choose **Sites**, open your site and choose **Pages**.
2. Select the page. Its Page metadata panel opens on the right.
3. Open **More details**.
4. Type the new address part in **Slug**, using letters, numbers and dashes. The preview underneath shows the full path.
5. Select **Save metadata**.
6. On the site's **Overview**, select **Update**, wait for it to finish, then select **Promote**.
7. Open the old address and check it forwards to the new one.

## What happens next

The page is published at its new address, and a redirect from the old address is added for you. If you change the slug again later, every earlier address keeps forwarding. Renaming a page in Confluence works the same way when it changes the address.

If the slug has anything else in it, saving stops with **Slug can only contain letters, numbers, and dashes**.
