Resolve "Page ABC contains a link to a page XYZ that cannot be published"

Symptom

While converting a Scroll Versions managed space from Scroll Versions to Scroll Documents, you encounter the following warning:

Page ABC contains a link to a page XYZ that cannot be published

Explanation

Page ABC links to page XYZ within the same space, but page XYZ cannot be converted to Scroll Documents. This can happen if:

• You are converting a page with a link to a page that isn't available in the variant you’re converting.

• The page you're linking to has been removed in the version you're converting.

Resolution

To resolve the problem follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to the linked page mentioned in the error message.

2. First, check if the page is a part of all variants you are trying to convert. To check this, click Page is in X variant:

   1. Look under the “Variant” column.

   2. If the page is not a part of the variant you are converting, click Page attributes.

   3. Adjust the attribute conditions to make the page a part of the variant.

   4. Click Save when you are done.

3. Next, you need to check if the page is a part of the version(s) you are trying to covert. To check this:

   1. Click on the Versions Menu.

   2. Select Versions overview.

   3. Verify that the page is added or inherited in the version(s) you are attempting to convert.

   4. If the page is not a part of those version(s), close the versions overview dialog.

   5. Now, in Confluence page view, change the version picker to the version where the page is not added.

   6. Click Edit and publish the page to add it to the version where it's absent.
      Note: The page may not have any content initially; in such cases, you can copy-paste the content from another version.

   7. Repeat steps 3e-3f for each version you want to convert but the page is not a part of.

   8. Attempt to convert the space again. If the issue persists, contact support for further assistance.
