Adding content to your template
The
Create Template
view is very similar to the regular editor in Confluence:
What normally is the page title will now be the template name. The template name
will be displayed when you create a new page, so choose a descriptive name for
your template.
The content of the template is just like a regular page; you can use styles, layouts,
and other formatting. You can also add links and macros. In addition to the normal
features, the template editor also allows you to add variables and instruction texts.
Using variables in your template will create a form for collection of data when
someone adds a page based on the template.
Some points to take into account when creating a template are:
•
Labels
: Select
Labels
from the bottom-left to add labels to the template.
These labels will be included in all the pages created using this template.
•
Images and other attachments
: It is not possible to add any file or image to
a template. If you want to use an image or attachment in your template, you
need to attach this file to another page in Confluence.
