Navigating Confluence

Log in by clicking the arrow located in upper right corner of screen and signing in with your netID email address.

“Confluence” logo directs to user’s home screen, or “dashboard.”

“Spaces” displays recently visited spaces and the space directory.

“People” redirects to the personal space directory.

“Create” opens a blank page for editing, which saves to the space you are currently in.

When you are on a space and want to save it to “My Spaces,” click the Star symbol in the left pane, to the right of the title of the space.

For pages (within spaces), you can click “Save for Later” or “Watch.”

"Save for Later” adds the page to the My Work section of the left pane. “Watch” sends you email updates whenever the page is edited.
