Blog posts are best for short-lived content - sharing timely announcements, updates, and news. They are ordered chronologically and can be accessed from the 'Blog' section in the space sidebar. Blog posts work well to share any timely updates or news with your organization.

Save time with page templates

When you create a new page, you can start from a blank page or a page template.  Page templates  are pre-formatted pages that include guided instructions. They provide a starting place to save you time and keep your content well-organized. Confluence has over 75+ templates for you to choose from.

...

When your page is in edit mode, the toolbar allows you to make enhancements to your page. You can format text, change layouts, add emojis, create tables, upload multimedia, and more.

Format your text

Formatting text is a simple way to clarify your message and call attention to important information. In edit mode, the toolbar can be found the top of your screen. The left side of the toolbar provides text formatting options.

Use the text styles dropdown to select various heading and paragraph styles. Add emphasis to text with options such as bold, italics, underline, text alignment, and color.

1. Action item: Use action items to assign work to teammates. When you @mention a teammate next to the action item, that item will be assigned to them.

2. Add a link: To add a link, select a line of text on the page. Then, click this link icon in your toolbar. Paste the URL you'd like to link.

3. Add multimedia: Upload multimedia to your page, like images and videos.

4. Mention a teammate: Mention teammates to notify them about your page. To mention a teammate, click this @ icon and type a teammate's name. When your page is published, your teammate will receive a notification.

5. Add an emoji: Add an emoji to give your page extra style. Select this icon to choose from a list of emojis. You also have the ability to upload your own.

6. Add a table: Add a 3x3 table to your page. You can add or remove columns and rows as needed.

7. Change the layout: Select between a few different column layouts for your page.

8. Add a macro: Add a macro: a small tool that extends the capabilities of a Confluence page.

   Here's something valuable to know: You can also add multimedia files by dragging and dropping them onto the page. Drag images or videos directly onto the page and they will automatically be embedded.

...

Here's something valuable to know: When you move a page, all incoming links will stay the same. When you move a parent page, the entire hierarchy of child pages moves too.

USE advance search:

To find a page that contains an exact phrase, use double quotes around your search phrase. 

...

Here's something valuable to know: You can combine exact matches, operators, and wildcards in one search query. For example, you can search  manag* AND past? AND ("article" OR "post")

Edit pages in real-time 

You and up to 12 teammates can edit a page at the same time with  collaborative editing . In real-time, you can see which teammates are working on the page and see every edit as it happens. It's a great way to get work done together, quickly and efficiently. 

To start collaborative editing, select the edit button on any page. Invite a teammate by selecting the circular + option next to your profile picture. As your teammate begins making edits, you'll be able to see their changes as they happen.

Use comments and mentions

Comments and mentions and powerful features to collaborate with your teammates. You'll use both features often to give feedback, ask questions, and bring your entire team into the conversation.

...

Here's something valuable to know: Comments don't appear to viewers until the page is published. Any teammate mentioned in a comment won’t be notified until you publish the page.

Share pages with teammates

You'll often need to send pages to teams or individuals. The 'Share' button at the top right gives you two easy ways to share a page:

1. Share by name, group, team, or email: Enter a teammate's name or email. Type a quick message. Select 'Send.'

2. Copy the link: Select 'Copy link' to copy the URL. Paste the URL in an email or messaging app to share with teammates.
