Using templates
When there are templates available, you can start using them to create new pages.
When you create a page based on a template, Confluence will copy the following
content and information to the new page:
• Labels
• Text and styles
• Layouts and other formatting
• Macros
• Displayed media such as images or videos
The newly created page is not connected in any way to the original template;
changes made to the template will not reflect on the created page. It is not possible
to apply a template to an existing page; templates can only be used when creating
a new page. The newly created page can be edited in any way a blank page can;
content can be added, updated, and removed.
To create a page based on a template, perform the following steps:
1.
Click on

3.

4.

information into the fields and click on

.
5.
You will see a new page based upon the template.
6.
Give the page a title and add, update, or delete the content.
