Index

You can customise Confluence by choosing your site preferences — home page, language and timezone.

To edit your user preferences,

  1. Go to the 'Preferences' view for your user profile. To do this:

    • Log in to Confluence, if you have not already done so.
    • Go to your name at the top of the page. (This is the 'User' menu. A dropdown list will appear when your cursor hovers over the 'User' menu.)
    • Select 'Preferences' from the dropdown list. The 'Preferences' view will open.
  2. Click the 'Edit Profile' tab.

  3. In the left-hand column, click the 'General' link under 'Preferences'.

  4. Choose your preferences in the form that is displayed:
    • Site Homepage — choose the page that you would like to see whenever you log in to Confluence.
    • Preferred Language — choose your language.
    • Time zone — choose your time zone.
  5. Click 'Save' to save your changes.

        Hi,

        Did anybody report on this new feature? I would also like to add to it that it should be possible to make user profile template set to all users when they first log in. Anybody know if this is possible?

          Hi Jan,

          You can configure Confluence to direct users to any of the space home pages on the site when they log in, rather than to the Dashboard. Please see here for details.

          I would also like to add to it that it should be possible to make user profile template set to all users when they first log in.

          This feature has not been implemented. You may want to raise a feature request at :

            Hi Fenny,
            Thanks for your first hint, however it was not precisely what I meant. I would like users to autocreate personal space upon first login. And the autocreated space should of course be pretty much predefined by admins so that they all look a bit more similar, as suggested in my second part. 

            I have now created this as an issue here: http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-12678
