How To Create A Subpage In Confluence

If you want to quickly create a blank page, hit the Create button in the header; if you want to create a page from a template, hit the Create from template button.

Create blank page
Create from template

Select space: choose the space where you'll create the content.
Page templates: create a page from a template or create other types of content.
Parent page: your page will be a child of this page.

Once you decide on a blank page or blueprint, you'll be taken straight into the Confluence editor. The editor is where you'll name or rename your page, add the content, and format it to look great. When you've added some content, choose >Preview to take a peek at what your finished page will look like, andPublish when you're ready to make it appear in the space.

After you save you'll see the page in 'view' mode. You can re-enter the editor any time by choosingEdit or pressingE on your keyboard.

Confluence header: create blank pages, pages from templates and visit spaces or your profile.
Space sidebar: access pages, blogs and administer the space.
Page tools: edit or share the page, watch it to get updates and perform more actions.

Another useful way to create a page is to use the Create from Template Macro. This macro allows you to choose a page template, and adds a button to the page allowing one-click page creation. If you want others to create pages using this template, this is a great option.

Edit together

Need input from your team members? Multiple people can edit your page at the same time.

Hit the Invite button in the editor and either grab the link, or enter some people or groups to invite by email (they need the appropriate Confluence and space permissions of course).

See Collaborative editing for all the ins and outs.

Collaborate or restrict

Once you've created a page, you can decide if you want to keep it private, using restrictions, or collaborate on it with others using @mentions, sharing, and comments.

Organize and move

You can also organize pages in a hierarchy, with child and/or parent pages for closely related content. When you navigate to a Confluence page and choose theCreate button in the header, the page you're creating will by default be a child of the page you're viewing. Have as many child pages and levels in the hierarchy as you need to, and move pages if you want to change their location.

If you want to view all pages in a Confluence space, choosePages in the sidebar.

Each time you create a page, you're creating it in a space . Spaces are containers used to contain pages with related content, so you can set them up for each team in your organization, for projects, a combination of both, or for any reason you want to group pages together. See Spaces for more information.

Other page actions

Copy a page and its child pages
Delete a page or remove a specific version of a page
Monitor page updates and other activity through page notifications
View page history, and manage and compare versions of a page
Search page content, including attachments
Export pages to Word, PDF, HTML or XML
Like a page

(warning) We recommend you don't use special characters in page or attachment names, as the page or attachment may not be found by Confluence search, and may cause some Confluence functions to behave unexpectedly.

If you rename a page, Confluence will automatically update all relative links to the page, except in some macros . Links from external sites will be broken, unless they use the permanent URL. See Links for more information.

Notes

You may experience problems saving extremely large pages. Confluence can accept approximately 5mb of content (not including attached files) which is roughly equivalent to 800,000 words. If you do experience errors that indicate the page is too large to save, you should break up the page into several smaller pages.
