Labels are user-defined tag words that can be assigned to pages to categorise, identify or bookmark content in Confluence.

For example, you can assign the label 'accounting' to all accounts-related pages on the site. You can then browse all pages with the label 'accounting' in an individual space or across the site, do a search based on it, and even use it to filter information when you subscribe to a Confluence RSS feed.

Because labels are user-defined, you can add any word (or even make up your own) that helps you identify the content in the site.

Labels appear below the page tabs in a page and can be added or removed without affecting the content of the page.

There are two different types of labels:

Global Labels: A global label is available to all users across the site. Once a global label is added, any user with permission to view a page can also view its labels. Any user with permission to edit a page can add a global label to a page.

Personal Labels: A personal label is only available to the user that created it. Any user with 'view' permission can add a personal label to a page.

Here are some of the advantages of using labels:

  • Labels are user-defined which means that you decide what information is relevant to you and how you are going to label it.
  • You can group pages without having to restructure the site.
  • Labels are easy to add and edit, and do not affect the actual content of the page.
  • You can use labels to filter information during a search.
  • You can add as many labels as you like to a page.
