The Documentation theme is one of the themes bundled with Confluence. It provides an inbuilt table of contents for your wiki space, a configurable header and footer, and text styles suited to documentation.

This page tells you how to view pages in your Confluence space when your space uses the Documentation theme. For the full list of features and instructions on applying the theme to a space, see the guide to configuring the Documentation theme.

  • The left-hand panel contains a page tree. This is a table of contents that shows the pages in the space.
  • Click the plus signs in the page tree to see the child pages.
  • Drag the thick vertical bar to change the width of the panels.
  • Click the sidebar icon at top right, next to the search box, to remove the left-hand panel altogether. Click the icon again to restore the panel.

The rest of this page gives more details of the above guidelines.

By default, the left-hand panel contains a search box and a table of contents (page tree) showing all the pages in your space. Specifically, it shows the pages that are children of the space's home page.

(info) A space administrator can change the content in the left-hand panel and can also add a header and footer to the page. This means that your own pages may look different from the screenshot above. See Configuring the Documentation Theme.

Here is a summary of the things you can do on a page that uses the Documentation theme:
