Confluence
Features – Create
Your pages are editable. Instantly. Online.
Intuitive editing
Click "Edit" and start writing. It's that easy. The Confluence rich-text (WYSIWYG) editor lets you build attractive documents quickly and easily:
- italicise, bold and underline your text
- use multiple levels of headings to organise your documents
- format text with bullets, numbering, tables and colours
- insert links and images
- undo and redo — all at a click of the mouse
For experienced wiki users, Confluence also provides 'wiki markup'.
No technical expertise, complex procedures or uploading are required to update your pages — all you need is a web browser.
Pages are building blocks
Pages are the primary way of storing and sharing information in Confluence. Pages are linked, connected, organised and accessible:
- Pages are grouped into larger spaces
- Links between pages, and with other websites, never break
- Integrate your existing documents by attaching files and images
- Discussion threads allow each page to become a team forum
- All pages, files and comments are instantly searchable
- Pages can be organised hierarchically to help your readers navigate and drill down
Who did what when?
Confluence tracks who edited which pages and what they changed.
Every time a page is saved, a new version is automatically created — so you can reverse any change at any time.
Every changed word or sentence is highlighted:
Your information can also be protected with enterprise security and permissioning. This gives you the perfect balance between openness and control.
Edit pages in Word
One click on the Word icon opens a Confluence page in Microsoft Word. When you finish editing the page in Word, simply save the document and the content will be updated in Confluence.
Make your pages come alive
Confluence enables you to easily embed compelling content into your blogs and pages:
- images
- charts
- multimedia (such as Flash movies and videos)
- RSS feeds from other sites (e.g. newspaper sites; stockmarket feeds)
- Widgets from popular sites like YouTube, Flickr, Google and Twitter.
Attached images can even be 'thumbnailed' and displayed in a gallery:
