The Refined Page Builder.

We’re excited to announce the arrival of our what-you-see-is-what-you-get Page Builder. Soon to replace the Layout Editor, the Page Builder lets you see your design come to life in real time as you build.

Unlock new possibilities for customisation and design

The Page Builder comes packed with new and improved features:

  • Flexible page structure lets you shape pages like never before. Modules are your page’s building blocks: group them into columns, rows and sections to structure your pages.

  • Wow users with stunning designs. With more control over images, colours and alignments, it’s easier than ever to apply your brand.

  • Undo & re-do make it a breeze to experiment with your design. If you don’t like it, just hit undo.

  • Easily bake personalisations into your design. Hit $ to see a dropdown list of available text variables.

  • Apply view permissions to sections and rows to get the right eyeballs on the right content.

  • Make your copy pop with extensive formatting possibilities.

  • Improved responsiveness makes your content shine on every device.

  • Need a helping hand? All-new templates let you nail your page designs.

  • Keyboard shortcuts make page-building fast and smooth.

  • Built-in tooltips and links to helpful documentation help you use the Page Builder to its full potential.

To see what this looks like in practice, watch the reveal during the latest edition of Site Building Live.

Ready to take the Page Builder for a spin?

The Page Builder is available out-of-the-box for all new Refined for Confluence Cloud and Refined for Jira Service Management Cloud customers. Our existing customers on Cloud get access to the Page Builder in phases:

  • If you see a green banner in the Layout Editor, you’re ready to edit that page in the Page Builder.

  • If you don’t see the banner, you have not yet received access to the Page Builder. We expect all customers to have access to this feature by the end of September.

While the Login button is part of the Navigation Menu by default, it can be beneficial to hide it on some of your sites. For example on public documentation sites on which the majority of users will only read information and has no reason to log in. That’s why we now offer the option to hide the button from public sites:

  1. Go to the Refined Administration.

  2. Click Sites in the left-hand menu.

  3. Pick the site you want to work with.

  4. Go to the Configuration tab.

  5. Scroll down to the Navigation Menu heading.

  6. Toggle Display login button off.

If you were already using custom CSS to hide the login button, we recommend you to remove it and use this new feature instead. We don’t offer support for issues that occur due to custom code.

Users can add images to comments/descriptions for /wiki/spaces/~62f636d425abc07e51c8b330/pages/4704243165, by pasting them directly or by clicking the image icon in the formatting menu.
