How to use Blueprint MakerBlueprint Maker allows you to use existing pages, page trees, or spaces as templates.

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

    Installing/Enabling Blueprint Maker

    A System Administrator can install and enable the app by:

    2. Selecting Add-ons
    3. Selecting Find new add-ons
    4. Searching for Brikit Blueprint Maker

    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

    The app can be accessed by users (with the appropriate permissions) by:

    1. Navigating to the Blueprints option in the Confluence 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)
