How can I edit a page when I have hidden the edit button?

When you have hidden the edit button, there's two easy ways to edit the page.

Using the shortcut

You can use the "E" shortcut to edit a page, even when the edit button is hidden!

See the Confluence Server shortcuts infographic for more information.

Disabling HideElements via the URL parameter

By adding the "hideelements=false" parameter to your URL you can temporarily disable HideElements.

This will make the edit button show up again.

Example URLs:

https://your-confluence.com/display/SPACE/Awesome+Page?hideelements=false
https://your-confluence.com/display/SPACE/Awesome+Page?foo=bar&hideelements=false
