Brief guidelines for grouping content into the Confluence space and page format used by Confluence.
Partitioning Guidelines
To ensure maintainable and logical spaces, content should be broken into spaces by:
- Evaluating permissions across the wiki content. If members require conflicting access, for example user 1 must access content on topics A and B, while user 2 must access content for topics B and C, then the topics must be separated into three spaces.
- Grouping content by topic, project or team.
For semi-static content, a space for each topic is fine. If there is a substantial project-related content that must be exclusive to different groups, you should use separate spaces.
Spaces & Pages Information
Useful notes about spaces and pages:
- Spaces cannot be nested
- Page permissions can prevent users who can access the space from accessing that page
- Page permissions alone cannot keep the existence of a page secret. The page should be in a restricted space instead
- Pages can be easily moved between spaces
