Installing/Enabling Blueprint Maker

A System Administrator can install and enable the app by:

  1. Clicking on the Confluence Administration cog/gear icon (upper right corner of screen)
  2. Selecting Add-ons
  3. Selecting Find new add-ons
  4. Searching for Brikit Blueprint Maker
  5. Selecting Free Trial or Buy Now

Creating Blueprints

Two different types of blueprints can be created with Blueprint Maker, Space Blueprints and Page Blueprints. The process for both is generally the same:

  1. First, create the space or page that will be used as the Blueprint. In both types, you can create page trees as well.
  2. Add substitution fields to your Blueprint pages.
  3. Create or update the Blueprint Maker JSON file to define and configure your Blueprints

Configuring Blueprint Maker

A site administrator can configure the app by:

  1. Clicking on the Confluence Administration cog/gear icon
  2. Selecting General Configuration
  3. Selecting Blueprint Definitions in the sidebar menu

Use of Blueprint Maker

Blueprint Maker allows you to use existing pages, page trees, or individual pages as templates to help your team build and contribute content for scale. Blueprint Maker can be enabled in the Confluence Administration, under "Add-ons". The app can then then be configured by an admin in the Confluence Administration under "General Configuration". The app can be accessed by users (with the appropriate permissions) by going :

  1. Navigating to the
"
  1. Blueprints
" option
  1.  option in the Confluence
menu. From there, a blueprint of the user's choice can be selected.

  1. Header
  2. Selecting a Blueprint and filling out the required fields (these values will pre-populate the substitution fields)
  3. The process above is sometimes called using the Blueprint Wizard, since it walks users through the creation of a space or page blueprint.
  4. After clicking "create" the user is taken to newly created page (or space home)

Use h4 for section headings

If you don't want numbers in the section headings, simply remove the "numbered" class from this block.

Note/Tip/Warning/Info blocks below are collapsed by default. If you want to use any of these, try to keep to just one per page. You may use two if necessary, but in general, try to limit these
