Working with Pages

Adding a New Page

1. Go to a page in the space, open the 'Add' menu and select 'Page'. The 'Add Page' screen opens.
   Alternatively, you can go to the Dashboard and click the 'Add Page'  link located beside each space. In this case, Confluence will add the page at the root of the space.
   The 'Add Page' links are only displayed if you have permission to create pages for the space.
   
2. Enter a name (title) for your page. This is how it will be referred to from other pages.
3. By default, Confluence will add the page as a child of the page you are viewing. If you need to move the new page to a different space or a different parent, you can edit the 'Location'.
   
4. Enter content for your page using Wiki Markup or the Rich Text editor . See Writing Confluence Pagesbox below the title. You will see some buttons at the top of the box that look like buttons in Word or other office applications at the top of this area.
   
5. Click 'Preview' if you want to see a preview of what the page will look like before saving it.
   
6. Click 'Save'.
