A page’s metadata contains a featured image and text that can appear in various places:
The Pages module shows a Confluence page’s featured image.
The News module shows a Confluence blog’s featured image.
When you share a link to a publicly available page, a link preview shows the featured image and text. This works on social media and Slack, for example.
When Google shows the page as a search result, it shows the featured text.
If you don’t set a custom image and text, the image and text are based on the page’s content.
You can add metadata to:
A site’s home page
Confluence pages and blog posts
Confluence space landing pages
Jira Software project landing pages
JSM project landing pages
