Getting started in Confluence

Atlassian’s guide to getting started in Confluence >

Find what you’re looking for

To search the BPL, you can browse by topic or by tag. You can also see a complete list of articles.

The search function is robust, so try out the Search box, too.

Create and edit pages

Let’s play! Each user is assigned his/her own personal space. To access it, from the top nav bar click on Spaces. Choose your name from the menu.

• To edit, click the pencil icon in the upper right corner, which will open a WYSIWYG editor.

• To create a new page, click the blue create button at the top of the page.

There are loads of other fun things like macros and formatting, which are useful in creating an engaging page layout.

My favorite articles to help you get started with creating and editing pages:

• Create, edit, and publish a page

• Insert links (we are only working in the new editor)

• View a page

• Use symbols, emojis, and special characters (because it’s fun to have fun)

• Insert elements into a page

• Format your page (we are only working in the new editor)

Changing your email notification frequency

Click your picture in the upper right and select Settings from the menu.

Open

Click Email in the left panel under Your Settings.

Open

 Click the Edit button in the Email Settings main panel.

Check and uncheck until your heart’s content and click Submit.
