Quick admin tip
Use the search box to get to an administration screen quickly. Start typing what you want to do into the Confluence search box at top right of the screen. The matching administrative functions will appear with a cog icon at the top of the dropdown search results.
It is even faster via 'GG'. Press 'G' twice on your keyboard then continue typing the action you want.
For more information, see Searching Confluence.
