Cause

When Confluence doesn't have a Homepage for the space, it will not be able to create a new page (in this case File List).

Workaround

1. Go to the space experiencing the issue

2. Click on 'Space Tools (left-hand panel)

3. Click on the Overview tab > 'Edit Space Details'

4. Start typing in the Home Page field to bring up pages you would like to set as homepage.

Resolution

  • Give specific step by step directions

  • You can use a bulleted or numbered list
