Nested pages Business
Nested pages let you put pages inside other pages, the way you'd put files in folders. A handbook can hold a page per team, and each team page can hold its own runbooks. There's no limit on how deep the hierarchy goes.
Nested pages work in project pages, wiki pages, and teamspace pages.
Create a nested page
From the editor. In the parent page, type /page and press Enter. Plane creates a new page inside the current one and adds a block for it where your cursor is. Click the block to open the new page.
From the wiki sidebar. Hover over a page and click +. Plane creates a page nested under it and opens it.
What a nested page inherits
A new nested page starts with its parent's settings, and some changes to the parent flow down to every page beneath it.
| Setting | When you create a nested page | When you change the parent later |
|---|---|---|
| Public or private | Same as the parent | All nested pages change with it |
| Shares (wiki) | Gets the parent's shares | Shares apply to all nested pages |
| Published | Published if the parent is | Publishing or unpublishing the parent includes nested pages |
| Collection (wiki) | Same collection as the parent | Moving the parent moves its nested pages |
| Archived | n/a | Archiving the parent archives all nested pages |
| Locked | n/a | You can choose to lock or unlock all nested pages too |
When you move a page under a new parent, it takes on that parent's shares, and its published state follows the new parent.
Because of this, you can't share one nested page on its own. Share the top-level page instead.
Rearrange the hierarchy
Drag a page to change where it sits:
- In the wiki sidebar, drag a page onto another page to nest it, or between pages to move it up a level or reorder it.
- In a project page list, drag a page onto another page to nest it.
- In the editor, drag a page from the sidebar onto a nested page block to move it under that page.
If the move changes who can see the page, for example dropping a private page under a public one, Plane asks you to confirm first. A page can't be dropped into one of its own nested pages.
Find your way around
- The wiki sidebar and the project page list show nested pages indented under their parent. Click the arrow next to a page to expand or collapse it.
- Breadcrumbs at the top of each page show the full path. Click any part of the path to go there.
- The Nested pages column in a collection and the count in page analytics show how many pages sit under a page.
Work with nested page blocks
Each nested page appears as a block in its parent. From the block you can open the page, archive it, or delete it.
Deleting a nested page block asks whether to delete the page itself. Confirming deletes the page and every page nested under it, permanently.
Archive, restore, and delete
- Archiving a parent archives every page beneath it. Restoring the parent brings them back.
- You can't restore a nested page while its parent is archived. Restore the parent first.
- Deleting an archived wiki page also deletes its nested pages. Deleting an archived project or teamspace page keeps its nested pages as top-level archived pages.
See Organize pages for the details.
Export a page and its nested pages
When you export a page that has nested pages to PDF or Word, turn on Include subpages to get the whole tree in one ZIP file.
If your plan doesn't include nested pages
Nested pages you already have stay in place, but they become read-only. A banner on each one says Nested pages require a paid plan. Click Download data to get a copy of the page by email, or upgrade to edit them again.
