Use this interactive demo to learn how to reassign ownership of a Confluence page in a few clicks.

Quick summary

Changing the owner of a Confluence page reassigns authorship and content accountability to a new team member. This guide walks you through the built-in Change Owner workflow available directly from the page header in Confluence.


Steps

  1. Navigate to the Confluence page you want to transfer ownership of.
  2. Click the author's name labeled "By ___ (owner's name)" found just below the page title.
  3. Click the left and right arrow icon labeled Change Owner to initiate the ownership switch.
  4. Search and select the new owner's name from the user lookup field.
  5. Click the "Change owner" button to confirm and reassign page ownership.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to change the owner of a Confluence page is essential for maintaining accurate content accountability as teams evolve. When employees change roles, leave projects, or exit the organization, reassigning page ownership ensures documentation stays governed and up to date. The Confluence Change Owner feature lets space admins and authorized users transfer page authorship in seconds without losing any content history. Keeping page ownership current improves content governance, reduces orphaned documentation, and makes it easier for teams to identify the right person responsible for each knowledge base article.
