Confluence Training and Resources

The new Confluence editor is fast and you can edit without losing your place. No more scrolling up to select Edit, then scrolling back down to make your changes. Confluence will keep you in the same place when you choose between viewing and editing a page. E is the keyboard shortcut for Edit mode

Newly created pages in Cloud will default to the new Editor. Migrated content will default to the legacy editor, and pages must be manually converted to use the new editor. Don’t worry - converting is easy. How to tell the difference? In the legacy editor, the Publish button was in the bottom left corner of the screen (below left). In the Cloud editor, the Publish button is in the top right corner of the screen (below right).

Once you open the editor for a migrated page, it will open in the legacy editor. To preview your page in the cloud editor, select Preview in the bottom left-hand corner. You will then have three options: Cancel, Preview, and Convert page. It is recommended that you ALWAYS preview before converting. When you are in the preview screen, a blue banner will appear at the top to let you know you are only previewing. It is best to compare this preview to the legacy space to make note what will need adjusting. Then, select “Convert page” and make any necessary edits in the newly converted page.

Slash commands can be used for inserting macros. When you enter a slash and begin to type the name of the macro or a potential search term, a list of macros will populate, and you can select the one you want. Type a / and begin typing a term that might appear in the macro. A list will populate and you can select the one you need. *You can also access these macros by selecting the + at the far right of the editor menu.
