There are many ways you can help users navigate your sites.

  • The global menu helps you navigate your Confluence and holds items such as the Space and People Directories.

  • The category menu is the main navigation for the Global Site or a Full Site, located at the top of all the site’s pages. The menu follows the content structure you created in the Site Builder using categories.

  • The global footer applies to all your sites, unless you create one for a specific site.

The site home is a site’s landing page that helps users get an overview of your site and navigate it. The site home’s layout consists of modules that are added in the Layout Editor. Modules only show content that the user is allowed to see.

The Site Switcher lists all your sites and the links you configured in the Application Navigator. It is located in the top-left corner of your site.

You can decide whether a site displays the Site Switcher and if that site should be listed in the Site Switcher on other sites.

  1. Go to the Refined Administration.

  2. Go to the Site Builder tab.

  3. Click on a site’s Cogwheel > Edit site.

On the Global Site, the Site Switcher will be shown as long as:

  • There are sites that are being shown in the Site Switcher.

  • There are links in the Confluence Application Navigator.

You can determine which page a user sees first when they log in. For example, if you have offices in multiple countries that all have their own intranet, you’d want users to automatically land on their country’s intranet.

First, divide users into different Confluence user groups, based on their location.

  1. Go to the Refined Administration.

  2. Go to the Site Builder tab.

  3. Click on a site’s Cogwheel > Edit site.

  4. Under the General heading, scroll to Start site for groups.

  5. Add the Confluence user group that should land on this page when logging in.

You can also determine whether this site should be the default landing page for anonymous users, by toggling Start site for anonymous users on or off.

Add macros and modules to your site’s pages to help your users navigate your site.
