Learn how to get the most out of Confluence:
If you're just getting started, here are some tips on how to get the most out of your Confluence pages.
- Make sure you have the basics down pat: Use spaces, pages and templates to give your pages structure, plugins to extend your capabilities, and creativity to build the best pages possible.
- Don't forget that people like pictures! Upload an image or two, or embed a video if it's relevant to your content. Choose interesting images to boost engagement or highlight important information. By choosing an image that reflects your content or highlights important information, you can help increase engagement and focus your reader's attention. For example, if you're writing a page about office parties or events, images or galleries of the party are a great way to start.
- Use videos to give more insights on a topic: Videos are another great way to give your readers more insight into a topic. For example, if you have a meeting recap that works better as a video than written text, adding it to the page can be helpful for your readers.
- Stay consistent! If you want people to use your page as a reference later, make sure you format things consistently so that they're easy to read when people look at them later on (and so that you can find what you need in a hurry).
- Keep your content organized in spaces and child pages. Within each space, you can create pages for specific purposes. For example, you might create a page called "Sales Reports" within your Sales space. Or you might want to create a page called "2022 Marketing Strategy" in the Marketing space. You can use the same page title for multiple pages as long as those pages are in different spaces. For example, there could be a "Product XYZ" page in both the Sales and Marketing spaces.

Templates are basically finished pages that you can use as an example. To get to the templates, click on “Create” at the top of the page and pick one from the template overview. If your company has already set up templates for you, they will pop up first in this list. After choosing one, Confluence will guide you through filling it out with your own unique content (and if you don't like how it looks, build one from scratch. Confluence offers a variety of templates you can use as a framework for your pages. Spice up your pages with add-ons like plug-ins and macros.
