Content and structure itemsMost sites consist of a mix of these content and structure items:
Add items to your site
Shape the navigation menuThe content you add will automatically appear in your site’s navigation menu. By dragging and dropping items, you can group them to create drop-downs in the navigation menu. You can also organize items into folders, and add links to other sites as menu items. You can even exclude certain items from the navigation menu if you want. |

You can add a Confluence space, Jira project, or JSM project to as many different sites as you want. |
Edit an item’s settings
Click the item’s three dots > Settings.
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 > Permissions.
Choose who can see the item. The same permissions apply to items grouped under it, unless those items have more restrictive permissions.. See examples in the image below.
All users. Default setting, no restrictions applied.
Only logged-in users. The item shows a lock icon in the site structure.
You can even limit access to specific Atlassian user groups. You need to be an Atlassian administrator to see or edit user groups.
Only users who aren’t logged in. The item shows a lock icon in the site structure.
...
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.
Info |
---|
Refined Pages, Confluence spaces, Jira 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 content a Refined Page, Confluence space, Jira project or JSM project from your site, you lose the changes you made to its layoutcustomizable page. If you want to use the layout of that layout page again in the future, we recommend exporting it in the Page Builder before deleting the contentitem from the site structure. This way, you can import it to another piece of content later.
When you delete a page from a site, it is also removed from your promoted search results.
Recognise content types and sources
Looking at the Site Builder, you might have noticed that each content item features one or two icons. The icons give you an overview of the types and sources of content on your site.
The icon on the left-hand side of your content item indicates its content type: Page, Link, or Menu Folder. Confluence spaces, Jira Software projects and JSM projects always feature the Page icon and a content source icon, which is the logo of the Atlassian product.
On the right-hand side of the Site Builder, you can find an overview of the icons and their meanings.
