Content and structure itemsMost sites consist of a mix of these items that let you shape your site’s content and structure:
Item hierarchy: shape the navigation menuThe navigation menu is your Refined site’s main menu, located at the top of all pages. The navigation menu reflects the content and structure created in the Site Builder. An organized menu helps your visitors find the right content on your site. Simply drag and drop items to arrange them into a hierarchy. Group items underneath Refined Pages and Menu folders to create drop-down lists in the site navigation menu. |
For example, you can create four menu folders which will be the main navigation menu items on your intranet: Teams, Projects, Resources and HR. Everything you group underneath these folders in the Site Builder appears in drop-down lists in the menu.

Edit an item’s view permissions
View permissions let you decide who can see specific Refined Pages, links and menu folders. This helps you tailor the site to different types of users.
Click the item’s … (Three dots) > View Permissions.
Choose who can see the item:
Accessible for anyone (default setting)
No lock icon in the Site Builder.
No restrictions applied, all users see this item.
Logged-in users only
Restrictions applied: the item shows a lock icon in the Site Builder.
Only logged-in users see this item. You can even limit access to specific Atlassian user groups.
Anonymous users only
Restrictions applied: the item shows a lock icon in the Site Builder.
Only users who aren’t logged in see this item.
An item's view permissions also apply to sub-items grouped under it, unless these sub-items have more restrictive permissions set. See examples in the image below (click to enlarge).
Interactions with other permissions
You can also set general site access permissions and granular permissions on specific content on landing pages of Refined pages, Confluence spaces, Jira projects, and JSM projects.
All types of permissions are closely related and may impact each other. For example, a user who doesn’t have access to a landing page still won’t be able to see a section that’s set to be Accessible to anyone.
Edit an item’s customizable page
Click the item’s … (Three dots) > Edit Page.
The page opens in the Page Builder.

Refined Pages, Confluence spaces, Jira Software projects and JSM projects all have a customizable page. A space’s customizable page can be disabled. |
Delete an item
Click the item’s Cogwheel > Delete.
In the popup that appears, click the Delete button to confirm your action.
When you delete a Refined Page, Confluence space, Jira Software project or JSM project from your site, you lose the changes you made to its customizable page. If you want to use the layout of that page again in the future, we recommend exporting it in the Page Builder before deleting the item in the Site Builder. This way, you can import it to another customizable page later.
