Navigating through Confluence Wiki

  • Spaces

...

  • - In Confluence, content is organized into spaces. Each space has its own pages, news items, comments and access permissions. Spaces can based on any theme or topic. Confluence treats each space as an independently managed wiki. This means that each space functions autonomously within your site.
  • Dashboard

...

  • - The Dashboard is the front page of Confluence. It provides an overview of the site, access to all of the spaces you have view access, and a list of the most recent content updates. Read more about the Dashboard
  • Search

...

  • - A search box, located on every page in the wiki, allows you to search Confluence wherever you happen to be in the site. By default, Confluence will search all content in all spaces (global and personal), including attachments, that you have access to view. Read more about searching and filtering results

  1. Go to a page in the space, open the 'Add' menu and select 'Page'. The 'Add Page' screen opens.
  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 the Rich Text editor box 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'.

Editing a Page

  1. Go to the page and click on the 'Edit' tab. This will bring up the edit screen.
  2. Make changes to the content or add new content as you would when you create a new page. Use the Bold, Italic and Underline buttons as you would with any document. Use the format drop down menu to create sections of the page. Use bullets and numbers for lists. You can even insert images, select text color, and add links (described below).
  3. Click 'Preview' to view your changes, and click 'Save' to keep them. We highly suggest that you save fairly often, especially when adding a lot of content.
  4. On the same line as the Bold, Underline, Link, etc. buttons, there is a "Toggle to Fullscreen Mode." When clicked, it changes the window so the the editing area fills up the whole computer monitor, which may be easier if you are working on a long page.
