To create a page, you need the 'Create Pages' permission which is assigned by a space administrator from the Space Administration screens. See space permissions or contact a space administrator for more information.
You can also read more about writing pages.
There are two ways to add a new page, both described in more detail below:
Using the Add Page Function
To add a page,
- There are two ways to start the 'Add Page' function:
- Option 1: View a page, then go to the 'Add' menu and select 'Page'. Confluence will add the page as a child of the page you are viewing.
- Option 2: Go to the Dashboard and click the 'Add Page'
link located beside each space. Confluence will add the page at the root of the space.
The 'Add Page' links are only displayed if you have permission to create pages for the space.
- Enter a name (title) for your page.
- If you need to move the new page to a different space or a different parent, you can edit the 'Location'. Refer to the instructions on moving a page.
- Enter content for your page using Wiki Markup or the Rich Text editor. See Writing Confluence pages.
- Click 'Preview' if you want to see a preview of what the page will look like before saving it.
- Click 'Save'.
Using an Undefined Link to Create a Page
In Confluence, you can add a link which points to a page that you intend to create later. You might also use such a link to prompt other Confluence users to create pages. This type of link is called an undefined link.
To add an undefined link for later creation of a page,
- Add a link, specifying the name of a page which does not exist. See example below.
- Save the page which contains the undefined link. Confluence indicates undefined links by colouring them red.
- When you (or another user) click on the link, the 'Add Page' screen appears.
- You can then follow the steps outlined above to enter the page name, add content and save the page.
Here is an example of an undefined link:
