There are a number of features available in Confluence. This is only an introductory guide and does not even come close to covering all of them. However, you can find more features on your own using the Complete Confluence User Guide. Browsing and reading content on the site works in the same way as any Web web page. This document outlines the basic features that most of you will want to know to post and share new content.
Adding Pages: Pages are the main building blocks of the wiki. Each page, in general, is a discrete topic or piece of contentYou will use pages to organize your content into lower-level groups. You should create a new page whenever you want to create a whole new category of content or discussion, if you want to add a set of related content that makes sense to group together in one place, or if you want the content to be accompanied by a longer description and it would take what feels like too much space on an existing page. It also makes sense if you expect this content to be relevant across multiple categories. Once a page exists, you must link to your page from at least one other page so that people can find it. Then you can link to it from as many other pages as you would like as well. Feel free also to add links to other related pages from your own new page.
Adding links to pages: On any page, you can add as many links as you wish. The links may be:

The 'Add Page' links are only displayed if you have permission to create pages for the space. - Enter a name (title) for your page.

- Click 'Preview' if you want to see a preview of what the page will look like before saving it.
