The Confluence home page
The default entry page of Confluence is the dashboard, but as a Confluence
Administrator you can change this to any space home page you prefer. Keep in
mind that the space must be accessible for all your users and if your Confluence
installation allows anonymous access, the space should also be allowed to be
viewed by anonymous users.
To change the default home page, perform the following steps:
1.
Browse to the Administration Console (
Administration
|
Confluence Admin
).
2.
Select
General Configuration
from the left-hand side menu.
3.
Click on the
Edit
link at the top-left corner.
4.
Select a space from the drop-down menu next to
Site Homepage
.
5.
Click on
Save
to save the change.
Users can also change their personal default home page, which will override the
global setting.
To change your personal default home page, perform the following steps:
1.
Select your avatar in the top-right corner.
2.
Select
Settings
from the drop-down menu.
3.
Click on the
Edit
button.
4.
Select a space from the drop-down menu next to
Site Homepage
.
5.
Click on
Submit
to save the change.
The welcome message
The welcome message appears at the top-left corner of the Confluence dashboard,
and can be used to display a common introduction to Confluence or some important
company news.
Include a page as the welcome message
To change the content of the welcome message, a user has to be a
Confluence Administrator. If you want to allow other users to change
the welcome message, or just want to use the default Confluence editor,
including a page is a perfect solution. We will learn how to set up this
configuration in the later part of the chapter.
