| You edit these pages with the intuitive what-you-see-is-what-you-get Page Builder. Available modules differ slightly from Server/DC: see a comparison. |
Blog site |
|
| You can create a blog site by adding a space with only blog posts to a Refined site and using the News module to show the blogs on landing pages. |

Themes |

| |
Advanced Themes (self-coded) |
| You can still add custom CSS to alter your theme (but note that we don’t support issues caused by custom CSS). | |
Confluence formatting and macros |
| Sometimes you may want to embed Confluence pages so they look in native Confluence. For example when they include some of the few formatting or macros that Refined doesn’t (fully) support. Note that this feature is in beta and limitations apply. | |
Space Layouts |
| Each space gets a fully customizable landing page and can be tailored further with space settings. | |
Third party apps |
| Some apps or macros provided by third party Marketplace vendors might work on native Confluence, but not on Refined sites. Read more in step 3 of the preparation guide below. | |
Refined macros |
| - | Refined for Confluence Cloud doesn’t include any Refined macros. Possible solutions for this depend on your specific setup and require the app Refined Toolkit for Confluence Cloud. See step 4 of the detailed migration preparation guide below. |

It’s easy to combine both JSM portals and Confluence spaces into one Refined site, if you get both Refined for Confluence Cloud and Refined for Jira Service Management Cloud. Could this improve your workflow and your site’s user experience? It opens up many new ways of using Refined, including:
Building an intranet that features Confluence pages and blogs, as well as JSM portals. For example, this makes it easy for users to explore the company’s employee handbook and directly contact HR if they have any questions.
Creating an external-facing help site that features not just Confluence spaces, but also help desks. This way, users can create support requests if they can’t find what they are looking for.

There is no Cloud equivalent for this Server/DC module, because of technical differences between Cloud and Server/DC. | |
To show Confluence pages that the current user has worked on:
| |
Add an Image module with the Navigation Content style. | |
Add an Image module with the Navigation Highlight style. | |
The Site Navigation module automatically shows the landing page’s child spaces. To show only specific spaces, add them as individual items to a Links module. | |
Create similar user overviews manually with Image and Text modules. | |
