Although you will not lose any data, you can easily move all the pages in your space to the Trash or mess up your page structure.

Please use with caution! |

This tool has three modes, Pages mode, Attachments mode, and Comments mode. The difference is pretty self-explanatory: Pages mode allows you to move/delete child pages, Attachments mode allows you to move delete the attachments attached to the current page, and comments mode allows you to delete multiple comments from the footer of the page.
Deleting pages/attachments/comments:
To delete, make sure the pages/attachments/comments you want to delete are selected, and simply click on the "Delete Pages" (or "Delete Attachments" or "Delete Comments") button. You will see a confirmation dialog, and if you confirm, all selected pages items will be deleted. Pages will be moved to the trash, but attachments and comments will be completely deleted. You will see the status next to each page change to

If you delete a page that has children, they will be moved to the lowest level of the space, which means you will not be able to find them unless you choose the "Reorder Pages" option from the sidebar. If you delete a parent comment that has children, the child comments will become children of the original comment's parent (i.e. move one step up the comment tree). |
Moving pages/attachments:
In order to move pages/attachments, you will need to choose a new parent page by choosing the target space and target page. The space selector box will be filled with the name of the current space, but if you want to move the pages items to a different space, you will need to choose it from the selector box.

Next, you will need to choose the target parent page from the page selector box. You can help to find the page by searching in the search field, if necessary. Once you have chosen the new parent page, you are ready to move the pagesitems. Make sure the pages items you want to move are selected, and simply click on the "Move Pages" (or "Move Attachments") button. The move process will begin immediately, and you will see the status next to each page/attachment change to
