Confluence allows you to create a page based on a global template (available to all spaces) or a space template (available only to that space). This page is intended for users who have already created a template.

Labels are copied from the template

If the template contains labels, the template labels will automatically be included in the new page created from that template.

To create a page using an existing template:

  1. Do either of the following:
    • At the top of the Dashboard, click Add Page. Choose the space that contains the template you want to use.
    • At the top of any other page, choose Add > Page from template.
      This link is only displayed if there are templates already defined. If you do not see this link, then an administrator will have to create a template before you can use it.
  2. Choose a template from the list and click Next. This will display one of the following:
    • A new page based on the template, if the template does not contain a form.
    • The Template Variables page, if the template contains a form. Type values into the form fields and click Insert Variables. This will display a new page based on the template, with the variable values you entered.
  3. Type a name for the page where you see 'New Page'.
  4. Add more content or make further changes as required.
  5. Click Save.
