π©Baker's dozen Confluence elements bonus: Day 13 - Layouts
The layout of your pages canΒ have a big influence on how they're read, and what visual impact your content has. Narrower columns, for example,Β optimizeΒ for readability, with around 50-75 characters per line, but wider page widths work better for displaying tabular data.
You can create different layouts in Confluence after inserting a default layout usingΒ the Layouts tool,Β giving different parts of your page a different column configuration.Β
There are severalΒ column layoutsΒ available. After inserting a layout, you can easily switch between the options. Content doesn't get lost when you change the column layout; additional columns are added to the right, and when you change to a layout with fewer columns, the content moves to the left. This replaces the add, remove, and move section functionality of the legacy editor.
Layouts can be moved from the page by selecting the trash can icon in the floating toolbar.
Our most commonly used layout is the right sidebar layout, which can be seen in the Banner Guide.
