Working with multiple sites

Refined gives you the opportunity to create several sites within one Confluence instance. For example, you can create a technical documentation site, an intranet, and one site per team or geographically separated office.

Add and edit sites

Go to the Refined Administration.
Go to the Site Builder tab.
Click the Add site button and choose a site type.

To edit a site, hover your mouse over its Cogwheel and click Edit site. To navigate to a site, click the View button next to the site’s name.

Arrange your sites

When you are on Refined 6.1 or higher, you can reorder your sites. Use the Reorder Sites link to open the tool. In the tool you'll see a simplified map of you sites, and you reorder them by dragging and dropping.

Navigation

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 a 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.

View permissions

By setting view permissions, you choose which users see which site. You can specify them for the site home, the categories and Confluence spaces.

Refined does not override or in any way interfere with the Confluence permissions. If a user can see a space that is placed on a site they can't see, they can still see any content of that space.

Themes

The theme set on a site applies to that site and all its content, unless specified otherwise. You can set themes on a global, site, category, and space level.

Different start sites per user group

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.

Move categories between sites

Starting in RefinedTheme 6.1, you can drag and drop categories between sites, keeping the structure of the categories intact.
