“Welcome to Confluence! You can use Confluence to create a rich knowledge base or to collaborate with others using words, videos, images, graphics, charts, and graphs. This page walks you through some Confluence basics like spaces, pages, and elements that allow you to create and manage impactful content for your teams. On this page Confluence 101 https://www.youtube.com/embed/kaNPNbAT-as%22 🗃️ Spaces Spaces are places for individuals, teams, and companies to organize and work on ideas, projects, documentation, and announcements. Spaces can be customized and integrated with both Atlassian tools and others. Create as many spaces as you need to get things done: TEAM SPACES Give each team their own space so they can work closely and make information easier to find. PROJECT SPACES Put all the information related to your project in one place so everyone can work together. PERSONAL SPACES Store anything you’re working on, keep your to-do lists, and polish content before moving it into a shared space. In the main navigation bar, select Spaces→ Create space to create a new space. More about spaces 📄 Content Whiteboards are your team’s place to brainstorm, build connections, and make ideas come to life. Pages are the building blocks of Confluence. Drop ideas into a page, to collaborate on, refine, and document work. Blog posts are individually-authored pieces of content that illustrate a particular perspective, typically shared broadly—great for documenting case studies or broad insights. To create a content within a space, select the + and choose your content type. You can also create content using the Create button in the main navigation bar. Press c to create content at any time.

They allow you to remark on content, add important information, ask questions, and generally drive collaboration and teamwork. @mention a teammate to bring them into the conversation, and they can reply to and/or like comments. Leave comments for your team in different places, depending on the type of feedback you have: Inline comment →Added to a highlighted section of the page or post you are editing or viewing; good for targeted comments on a specific word or phrase. Page comment →Added below the content of the page or post you are viewing; good for comments that apply to the content as a whole. Leave an inline comment when viewing a page or in the editor.
