Your personal space is a place where you can publish your own pages and news items. Your personal space can be reached by clicking your name in the People Directory. (Note: personal spaces are available in Confluence version 2.2 and later.)

To set up your personal space, you require 'Personal Space' permission which is assigned by a site administrator from the Administration Console. See Security or contact a site administrator for more information.

To create your personal space,

  1. Click on the 'Preferences' link located below the breadcrumbs at the top of the page. 
  2. This will display your Profile. Click the link 'Create Personal Space':
       
  3. Enter a few details about your space:

    • Choose who can view content
    • Choose who can contribute (create and edit) content
    • Choose the Theme (look and feel) for your personal space.

  4. Click the 'Create' button.





Now, you can start adding pages to your personal space. You may also want to upload your photo.







Handy Hint

Once you have set up your personal space, you can return to it any time by clicking your name (next to the word 'Welcome' at the top of the page).
