PagePolish User Manual

Welcome to the official user manual for PagePolish. This guide will help you install, configure, and use PagePolish to keep your Confluence pages clean and professional.

1. Introduction

PagePolish is a Confluence Cloud app designed to automatically fix common formatting issues that occur during copy-pasting or drafting content. With a single click, it removes extra whitespace, consolidates empty lines, and cleans up your document structure.

2. Installation

PagePolish is available directly from the Atlassian Marketplace.

1. Log in to your Confluence Cloud instance.
2. Go to Apps > Find new apps.
3. Search for “PagePolish”.
4. Click Get app > Get it now.

Once installed, PagePolish will be available in the content action menu (the “…” button) on any Confluence page.

3. How to Use

Opening the App

1. Navigate to the Confluence page you want to format.
2. Click the More actions (…) menu in the top-right corner of the page.
3. Select PagePolish from the menu.

Configuration Options

After scanning, PagePolish presents 4 options to customize the cleanup. The default selection is recommended to give your content a structure similar to ChatGPT output.

• Reduce consecutive empty lines (Recommended): Consolidates multiple empty lines into a single one. This improves readability without making the page too dense.
• Remove all empty lines: aggressively removes all blank lines. Use this if you want a very compact document.
• Horizontal Rules: Detects and removes separator lines (---).
• Detached Bullets (Recommended): Fixes bullet points that have become separated from their lists (a common issue when pasting from external tools).

Tip: We recommend keeping the pre-selected options (Reduce consecutive empty lines and Detached Bullets) to achieve the cleanest, most professional look.

Scanning and Cleaning

1. Scan Page: Click the Scan button to analyze the page.
2. Review: See how many issues were found for each category.
3. Clean Page: Click Clean to apply the fixes. The page will reload automatically.

Reverting Changes

PagePolish edits your page just like a user would. If you are not happy with the result:

1. Go to the Page History in Confluence (click the clock icon or “Page History” in the menu).
2. Select the previous version (before PagePolish ran).
3. Click Restore to undo the changes.

   If you see an error message, try the following:

   • Refresh your browser tab and try again.
   • Ensure you have Edit permission for the page you are trying to clean.
