Typical Use

There are a number of features available in Confluence. This is only an introductory guide and does not even come close to covering all of them. However, you can find more features on your own using the Complete Confluence User Guide. Browsing and reading content on the Confluence site works in the same way as any web site/page. This document outlines the basic features that most of you will want to know to post and share content.

Adding Pages: Pages are the main building blocks of the wiki. You will use pages to organize your content into lower-level groups. You should create a new page whenever you want to create a whole new category of content or discussion, if you want to add a set of related content that makes sense to group together in one place, or if you want the content to be accompanied by a longer description and it would take what feels like too much space on an existing page. Once a page exists, you must link to your page from at least one other page so that people can find it. Then you can link to it from as many other pages as you would like as well.

...

Adding attachments: On any page, you can add as many attachments as you wish. For example, PDF files of reports, or images. Note that you can also make images appear directly on the page. If the attachment you wish to share is already hosted on another Web site, sometimes it is best to simply link to the original Web page where you can download the document. This may be easier to do than uploading an attachment yourself.
