In-Depth Information
If your Confluence installation is open to the public, archived spaces will still be
indexed and found via search engines such as Google.
Using Confluence labels
To categorize, identify, or bookmark content in Confluence we can use
labels
. Labels
are keywords or tags that can be added to pages, blog posts, attachments, and spaces
as metadata. Labels are user-defined so any word that identifies your content can
be used.
For example, you can assign the label "requirement" to all pages with project
requirements. It is then possible to browse, or list, all pages with that label in a
single space or even across Confluence. It is also possible to search content based
on that label.
The advantages of using labels are as follows:
• Labels are user-defined, so you can decide what information is relevant and
how you want to label them, using words you and your users understand
• With labels you can group pages and spaces without having to restructure
your site
• You can add as many labels as you like
• Labels are easily added without affecting the content to which you assign
a label
Confluence doesn't support multiword labels. Which means that, to label a page with
"needs review", the space has to be replaced with another character such as a dash
or underscore.
Content labels
Any user with the permission to edit a page or blog post can also manage labels.
In order to add a label, you will have to perform the following steps:
1.
Go to the page you want to label. At the bottom of the page, just below the
content, there will be a list with labels (provided the page already has labels,
otherwise,
No labels
will be displayed).
2.
Click on the edit icon next to the list, or press
L
on your keyboard. This will
display the labels dialog.
