Hello World in Confluence
Introduction
Confluence is a collaboration software program developed by Atlassian that allows users to create, share, and collaborate on content. One of the first things you might want to do when learning a new platform is to create a simple "Hello World" example. This tutorial will guide you through creating a basic "Hello World" page in Confluence, helping you to understand the basics of page creation and editing within the platform.
Creating a New Page
To create a new page in Confluence, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Confluence account.
- Navigate to the space where you want to create the page.
- Click on the Create button located in the top menu.
This opens a new page editor where you can start writing your content.
Writing the "Hello World" Content
In the page editor, you can write your content directly. For our "Hello World" example, simply type the following:
Hello World!
You can format this text using the formatting options available in the toolbar above the editor.
Formatting the Page
To make your "Hello World" page visually appealing, you can apply various formatting options:
- Headings: Use headings to structure your content.
- Bolding: Make important text stand out by bolding it.
- Lists: Organize your information using bullet points or numbered lists.
For example, you could enhance your "Hello World!" message like this:
Hello World! This is my first page in Confluence.
Preview and Publish
Once you are satisfied with your content, you can preview it by clicking the Preview button. This allows you to see how your page will look once published. If everything looks good, click on the Publish button to make your page live.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully created your first "Hello World" page in Confluence. This simple exercise demonstrates how easy it is to create and format content in Confluence. As you continue to explore the platform, you will find many other features and functionalities that enhance your collaboration experience.
