  2. The Global directory will contain directories which represent Confluence global spaces.
  3. The Personal directory will contain directories representing personal spaces.

Creating A New Page

There are two ways you can create pages (when you're in a directory representing either a space or a page).

  1. Right click and choose New Folder. Then, give a name to the new page (as shown in the picture on the left).
  2. Drag and drop an existing directory in your computer to the desired location in WebFolders (as shown in the picture on the right).

Update Page Contents

  2. Use your preferred text editor to change the content of text file you just dragged to your computer.
