Confluence 2.7 has reached end of life

This page tells you how to use Confluence Notation to link to a Confluence page. Instead, you can also use the Rich Text editor.
In Confluence notation, links are always denoted by square brackets. Whenever you place text between square brackets, Confluence recognizes it as a link.
You can display your own text instead of the page name: Inside the square brackets, insert the required text followed by a vertical bar and then the page name. The second example shows this.
To link to a page in a different space
What you need to type |
What you will get |
|---|---|
| [DS:Brief Overview of Confluence] | |
| [Here's an overview|DS:Brief Overview of Confluence] |
where:
'DS' is the space key of the space you are linking to, in this instance, the Demonstration Space.
'Confluence Overview' is the name of the page in the space, 'DS'.
To link to the homepage of another space
What you need to type |
What you will get |
|---|---|
| [DS:] | |
| [demo home page|DS:] |
where:
'DS' is the space key of the space you are linking to, in this instance, the Demonstration Space.
The space key is the short name displayed in parentheses beside each space name on the dashboard, and in various other places across the site.
Handy Hint
You can also create a link to any Confluence page by clicking 'Insert Link' when you are in the 'Edit' mode of a page. A pop-screen allows you to select pages from anywhere within Confluence. Selecting a page creates a link to that page.
