You can create a page based on a global template (available to all spaces) or a space template (available only to that space). Before reading this page, make sure that someone has already created a template on your Confluence site.

Information copied from the template to the page

When you create a page based on a template, Confluence will copy the following content and information from the template to the new page:

  • Labels
  • Text and styles
  • Layouts and formatting
  • Macros
  • Embedded images and other files. Note that you cannot attach an image or other file to a template. But if the template displays an image or file from another page, the new page will display that image or file too.

Form fields displayed by the template

If the template author included variables in the template, Confluence will display a form prompting you to supply values for the variables when you add the page.

Using a template to create a page

To create a page based on a template:

  1. Choose Create on the header
  2. Select a space and the template you want to use and choose Next
  3. If the template contains variables, you will now see a form. Type the relevant information into the form fields, and choose Next.
  4. Now you will see a new page based on the template. If you added information in the form fields, the page content will include that information.
  5. Type a name for the page where you see 'New Page'.
