Prevent data export

Data security policies are currently only available through our early access program (EAP). If you’re not part of the program, this feature will be available from June 2023.

For security purposes, your organization may want to remove the ability to export a Confluence page to a PDF. Preventing data from being exported from your products can be achieved through a data security policy with the Prevent data export rule. Learn more about data security policies

Configuration options

The Prevent data export rule can be configured by selecting and deselecting a checkbox.

The Prevent data export rule has two configuration options:

  • On (checked): Prevent data from being exported from a product.

  • Off (unchecked): Data can be exported from a product, as per the default product settings.

What will my users experience?

When the Prevent data export rule is on, users viewing a Confluence page that belongs to a product covered by the data security policy will not see the Export action in the More actions menu. When the rule is off, users will be able to see the Export action in the page’s More actions menu.
