A template is a pre-defined page that can be used as a prototype when creating new pages. Templates are useful for giving pages a common style or format.

Global Templates are defined by site administrators and are available in every space across the site.

Templates are written in regular Confluence markup, using special markup to define form fields that need to be filled in.

To add a global template,

  1. Go to the Administration Console, click on 'Global templates' in the left navigation panel.

  2. Click 'Add new global template'.

  3. Enter a name for your template in the 'Name' text field and an optional description in the 'Description' text field.

  4. Using regular Confluence markup and form field markup (if you are using forms), enter content in the text-entry box as you would in any other Confluence page.

  5. Preview and click 'Add'.
