Adding Pages

This tutorial covers the basic tasks required to add a new page...

Requirements

Step 1 - Creating the Page

When you add a new page, it will automatically be attached to the existing page you are currently viewing as a child page. If you're not viewing an existing page when you add a new page, the new page will be added as an orphan.

The process for creating a page varies slightly depending on which theme you are using...

Standard Confluence Themes

In the standard Confluence themes, you'll see an Add Page link either at the top-right of the screen or in the navigation bar at the left.

Follow a Broken Link

If you create a link to a page that does not exist, you can click that link to automatically add a new page with the title used in the link.

Step 2 - Page Settings and Content

You will be presented with a screen that looks something like this:

The first thing to do is give the new page a title1 . Note that the page title must be unique within the current Space.

Below the title, the current page location is shown. If you need to alter the parent page, you can do so by clicking the "EDIT" link. See our tutorial on Moving Pages for more information.

The main part of the page content can be edited using either the Rich Text Editor or the Wiki Markup Editor. You can also see a preview of your content using the Preview tab.

If you want to restrict who can view or edit the page, edit the restrictions below the editor. For more information, please see our tutorial on Page Restrictions.

Finally, you can set any labels that you want to be associated with the page. For more information, please see our tutorials on Labels.
