In-Depth Information
Blog posts differ from normal pages in the following ways:
• You cannot move a blog post to another space
• Blog posts have a publish date, which can't be changed after creation
• Blog posts don't have parents, and therefore, can only be structured based
on their publish date
Comments
Comments are remarks, questions, or any other information you want to add to
an existing page or blog post, but are not necessarily part of the content of the page.
Comments can be used to interact with other users on a topic. Comments can be
added to every page or blog post, provided the user has permission to do so.
Comments are displayed at the bottom of the page, below the content, ordered
in such a manner that the newest comment is at the bottom. Comments are
normally displayed as a thread, showing hierarchy and context in the responses.
Administrators can change the settings and choose to display all comments in a
single flat list, removing the hierarchy and context.
Adding global spaces
Before we can add any content to Confluence, we need to have a space to put it in.
In this exercise we will create two spaces, which we will use for the rest of this topic.
For setting up a new global space, the
Create Space
permission is required.
To add a new global space, perform the following steps:
1. Go to the Confluence dashboard and click on
Create Space
located at the
top right of the dashboard. The
Create Space
dialog appears as shown in
the following screenshot.
2. Enter the following information to create the first space:
°
Space name
: The name for the space. This name doesn't need to be
unique. Use the name
Project Documentation
.
°
Space key
: A key to identify your space. The key can only contain
characters and numbers, nothing else. This key is used when linking
content between spaces, web URL, and for reports. For our
Project
Documentation
space we use
DOC
. Space keys must be unique.
