Step 1: Accessing Confluence and Creating a New Page

• Click on the "Create" button, usually located in the top menu bar.
• Choose whether to start from scratch or select a template.
  • For templates, browse through the available options to find one that suits your needs.

Step 2: Using the Confluence Editor

• Familiarize yourself with the editor interface, which includes formatting tools and options for inserting elements.
• Add content to your page:
  • Use headings to organize sections.
  • Insert text, images, tables, and lists as needed.
• Utilize macros to enhance functionality:
  • To insert a macro, type “/” in the editor to bring up a list of available macros.
  • Select the macro you want to use and follow the prompts to configure it.

Step 3: Formatting Your Page

• Use the formatting toolbar to adjust font styles, sizes, and colors.
• Apply bullet points or numbered lists for clarity.

Step 4: Reviewing and Publishing Your Page

• Once you have completed your content, take a moment to review it for errors and clarity.
• Click on the "Publish" button to make your page live.
• If you want to save your progress without publishing, use the "Save Draft" option instead.

Step 5: Setting Permissions for Your Page

• After publishing, you may need to adjust permissions to control who can view or edit the page.
• Click on the ellipsis (three dots) in the top right corner of your page.
• Select "Restrictions" from the dropdown menu.
