Creating a
Page
Create a page
You can create a
page from anywhere in Confluence; just choose Create in the header and
you're ready to go. Pages are the place to capture all your important (and
unimportant) information; start with a blank page and use it like a word
processor to add rich text, tasks, images, macros and links, or use one of the useful blueprints to capture meeting notes, decisions, and more.
If you want to
quickly create a blank page, hit the Create button in the header; if you
want to create a page from a template, hit the Create from template
button.
1.
Create blank page
2.
Create from template
1.
Select space: choose the space where you'll create the content.
2.
Page templates: create a page from a template or create other types of
content.
3.
Parent page: your
page will be a child of this page.
Once you decide
on a blank page or blueprint, you'll be taken straight into the Confluence editor. The editor is
where you'll name or rename your page, add
the content, and format it to look great. When you've added some content,
choose Preview to take a peek at what your finished page will look like,
and Publish when you're ready to make it appear in the space.
After you save
you'll see the page in 'view' mode. You can re-enter the editor any time by
choosing Edit or pressing E on your keyboard.
1.
Confluence header: create blank pages, pages from templates and visit spaces or
your profile.
2.
Space sidebar: access pages, blogs and administer the space.
3.
Page tools: edit or
share the page, watch it to get updates and perform more actions.
Another useful
way to create a page is to use the Create from Template Macro. This macro allows you to choose a page template, and adds a
button to the page allowing one-click page creation. If you want others to
create pages using this template, this is a great option.
Edit together
Need input from
your team members? Multiple people can edit your page at the same time.
Hit the Invite
button in the editor and either grab the link, or enter some people or groups
to invite by email (they need the appropriate Confluence and space permissions
of course).
See Collaborative editing for all
the ins and outs.
Collaborate or
restrict
Once you've
created a page, you can decide if you want to keep it private, using restrictions, or collaborate
on it with others using @mentions, sharing, and comments.
Organize and
move
You can also
organize pages in a hierarchy, with child and/or parent pages for closely
related content. When you navigate to a Confluence page and choose the Create
button in the header, the page you're creating will by default be a child of
the page you're viewing. Have as many child pages and levels in the hierarchy
as you need to, and move pages if you want to
change their location.
