Your users will see the most recently published version of the page, regardless of where it was made.

Content and structure

Modules are your page’s building blocks. Use them to:

  • Create navigation.

  • Show content from Atlassian Cloud.

  • Add information.

You can easily switch up your design by dragging and dropping modules, sections and rows around.

Add a module

To add a module to a page, simply hover your mouse over the desired location and click the button that appears.

The availability of modules depends on the content of your Refined site. For example, if you don't have a Confluence space on your site, you can’t add a Confluence-specific module to your page.
