Confluence Administrators can define default content for a space home page. This content will appear on the home page whenever someone adds a new space. You can define different content for global spaces and for personal spaces.

The default content will appear only for new spaces created after you have defined the content. Content in existing home pages will not be changed.

To define default content for home pages in global spaces,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'Default Space Content' under 'Configuration' in the left-hand panel.
  2. The 'Space Home Pages' tab will open on the 'Default Space Content' page. Enter the content which you want to appear on the home page for new global spaces. You can use special characters within the content as variables (place holders). Confluence will replace the curly brackets and digits with the corresponding information as shown below:
    • {0} — The space name.
  3. Click the 'Save' button.


To define default content for home pages in personal spaces,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'Default Space Content' under 'Configuration' in the left panel.
  2. The 'Space Home Pages' tab will open on the 'Default Space Content' page. Click the 'Personal Space Home Pages' tab.
  3. Enter the content which you want to appear on the home page for new personal spaces. You can use special characters within the content as variables (place holders). Confluence will replace the curly brackets and digits with the corresponding information as shown below:
    • {0} — The space owner's full name.
    • {1} — The space owner's e-mail address.
    • {2} — Any personal information the space owner has entered on their user profile in the 'Information about me' section.
  4. Click the 'Save' button.

You can also undo all customisations of the default home page content, and go back to the default content as originally supplied with Confluence.

To restore the original default content,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'Default Space Content' under 'Configuration' in the left panel.
  2. Select either the 'Space Home Pages' tab or the 'Personal Space Home Pages' tab, as required.
  3. Click the 'Revert' button.
