Confluence pages with too many restrictions

This insight checks whether any of your pages exceed the recommended number of restrictions.

Too many restrictions can affect performance of a particular page, but not the entire space. The affected pages might work slowly or not load at all. Experience for users viewing and editing the page is degraded.

What's the recommendations?

Confluence doesn't have a native way of removing restrictions in bulk, so you'd have to do a manual cleanup. We recommend archiving the affected pages. Archiving is only available in Confluence Cloud so you'll need to wait until you migrate these pages.

Some other ideas you can use:

  • Check Marketplace apps that help with cleanup or archiving

  • If the page content is important, copy the page to keep the content without original restrictions, and try using group restrictions instead.
