A Space Layout determines a space’s look and feel. You can set up space layouts on a global and on a space level.
Globally
Applies to all spaces, unless specified otherwise in a space’s settings. Only confluence administrators can edit the global layout.
Go to the Refined Administration.
Go to the Layouts tab.
Under the Global space layout heading, click the Edit button.
You can now change the layout in the Space Layout Editor.
Space-specific
Applies to all pages within a space. Confluence administrators and space administrators can edit this layout.
On your Refined site, go to any page within the space.
Click the Menu icon next to the space’s name.
Under the Admin heading, click Space layout.
You can now change the layout in the Space Layout Editor.
Space Layout Editor
The Space Layout Editor works similarly to the Site and Category Layout Editors.
To customise the left column, page header, page top, page bottom, or page footer, hover your mouse over one of these items and click the Add button. You can use the Confluence editor to add content such as text and macros.
Click the Clock icon to go back to previously saved version of the layout. Click the View Space Layouts button to use layout templates.
Space setting | Description |
|---|---|
Space logo | Select to display the space logo. To set the logo:
|
Space siblings | Select to add a dropdown list of spaces within the category or subcategory. This can be useful to show different product versions in technical documentation, for example. |
Concealed menu | Select to bundle the space tools and menus, along with page information in a single inline dialog. This gives the pages a cleaner look, see Space Types for more information. |
Breadcrumbs | Select to show breadcrumbs: a sequence of the current page’s parent pages. |
Meta data | Select to show who created the page, and when it was modified last. |
Likes | Select to enable a like button that users can click. |
Labels | Select to show page labels. |
Comments | Select to enable users to comment on a page. |
Children | Select to list child pages at the bottom of a space. |
Space layouts (templates)
The Space Layout Editor comes bundled with predefined templates called Space Layouts. Selecting a Space Layout only modifies layout settings and content items (including macros): the space’s content and structure remains unchanged. The Space Layouts works great together with Confluence space blueprints.
The bundled Space Layouts are Documentation and Public. Additionally, you can create your own templates.
Documentation space layout
Makes navigation between different documentations and versions faster. It uses the Space siblings setting, and includes a space search bar.
Public space layout
Highlights the page’s content for easier reading. It hides space tool menus and offers a cleaner page tree configuration.
Custom space layouts

In the Layouts tab, you can also see all spaces that use custom Space Layouts.
