Designed to replace the Layout Editor, our new what-you-see-is-what-you-get Page Builder lets you see your design come to life in real time as you build.
We’re releasing the Page Builder in phases.

News module
The News module displays blog posts from a Confluence space as thumbnails in chronological order. For example, you can use this module on a help desk site to show a product’s latest features, as we have done on help.refined.com’s Refined for Cloud landing page.
Add this module to a page
This module is only available if you have installed Refined for Confluence Cloud.
All Refined Pages, Jira Projects, and Confluence Spaces that you add in the Site Builder get their own landing page on your Refined site. Modules are the building blocks of these pages.
Go to the Page Builder.
Hover your mouse over the desired location on the page and click the + Add module button that appears.
Click News in the left-hand menu.
Edit the title
Simply click the module’s title to start writing and formatting. You can use text variables to make the text dynamic, for example to display the user’s first name.
Edit the settings
Select the module to see its menu, which appears on its right-hand side.
Click the Cogwheel.

Display style |
|
Avatars | Show or hide the blog authors' avatars (profile pictures). Users set up their avatars in their Atlassian account. |
Number of items | Enter the amount of blogposts you want to show by default. Users can always click a button to load more, except when the Display style is set to Slideshow. |
Filter | Filters let you narrow down which blog posts from your site's Confluence spaces to show.
|
Filter by label | Enter a label to include only the blog posts that have that label in Confluence. Add a dash ( - ) in front of a label to exclude its blog posts. Separate multiple labels with commas. |
Filter by space | Decide which spaces to include:
|
Filter by author | Enter a creator’s Account ID to include their blog posts. A user’s Account ID can be found in the URL of their Atlassian profile. For example, in a URL ending with wiki/people/62f636d425abc07e51c8b330, the bold string of letters and numbers is the user’s Account ID. Add a dash ( - ) in front of a Account ID to exclude that user’s activity. Separate multiple IDs with commas. To show only blog posts from the user viewing the page, use CQL (Advanced filter) with the function currentUser(). |
Filter with CQL | Use CQL to show specific blogposts. Use "type = blogpost". Make the filter dynamic with text variables. For example, show blog posts that the user added: type = blogpost AND creator = $username ORDER BY created DESC |
Images
If the display mode includes images, they are displayed in 4:3 portrait (vertical) format.
The module automatically shows the first image located in each blogpost. If that image has a different ratio than 4:3, the module will crop it. We recommend using images that are at least 800x600 pixels.
If you want to use a different image, add metadata to the blogpost.
Description
If the display mode includes a description, the module automatically shows the blogpost’s first 250 characters. If you want to set a custom description, add metadata to the blogpost.
