To add a news item for a space, you require 'Create News' permission which is assigned by a space administrator from the Space Administration screens. See Space permissions or contact a space administrator for more information.

To add a news item,

  1. Click the 'Add News' link located at the top of every page in the space. This will bring up the 'Add News' screen.
  2. Enter a title for your news item in the 'Title' text field at the top.
  3. Enter your content in the text-entry box using Confluence markup or Rich Text as you would for any other page in Confluence.
  4. Add labels if you want to categorise information this way.
  5. If you want to backdate your news item, click 'edit' next to 'Posting Day', as shown in the screenshot below.
    (info) You can set the date to earlier than today, but you cannot set it to a future date. And you can only change the date when creating the news item, not when editing a news item.
  6. Preview and click 'Save'.


You can view your news item by going to the 'News' tab under the 'Browse Space' view of the space.
