With the Layout Editor’s modules, you can easily turn pages into a sleek landing page that helps users navigate your space. To add modules to a space overview, go into the Layout Editor – read more below. To add modules to other pages in your Confluence space, use the Content Layout macro.
Before customizing a page overview for the first time, you need to activate Refined Toolkit.
Access the Layout Editor
Click the space name in the left-hand menu.
Click the … (three dots) button > Edit space overview.
You are now in the the Layout Editor where you can set up your Space Overview with the help of modules. Modules make your Confluence space dynamic and interactive:
Layout Editor
Add modules
+ Add Module buttons are located in different locations in the Editor – click them to add modules where you see fit in your design. To speed up the page creation, you can duplicate modules. Go to the top-right corner of a module and click the Duplicate icon.
Add structure by using sections
Sections act as containers for modules and help you organize your page. Hover above or below an existing section, and add a new section by clicking the + button.
Arrange sections
Drag and drop sections to rearrange them, using the handle on the left. You can also click buttons above and below the handle to move sections up and down.
Divide a section into columns
Within a section, you can cluster modules into columns. Click the + Add Column button located in the top-right corner of the section. To change the width of a column, click and drag the column’s border.
Restore a previous version
You can always go back to a previously published version of the page.
Click the Version button at the top of the Editor.
Click Restore for the version you want to use.
Export and import a layout
If you want to reuse a layout, you can export it and import it to another page.
Click the Import/export button at the top of the Editor.
Templates
We have designed templates to help you get started with the layout of your pages. The templates are just a starting point: you can customize the modules and add/remove as many as you’d like to further customize the page.
Click the Templates button at the top of the Editor and choose a template that fits your needs.
If you change your mind and want to pick another template, make sure that you publish your page first, so you can restore the page version later.
You can choose from the following templates (click to enlarge):
Combine modules and macros on a page
