Preconfigured page structures, a type of page design, included with product install.

NameDescriptionLayout
Announcement

Highly designed and optimized for short articles, announcements, news, and blurbs. Hides all page elements, but adds a merged layer with Page Title, Formatted Date (@created), and User Info (@creator) macros.

Basic Confluence

As close to Out-Of-the-box Confluence as possible, and therefore optimized for users most familiar with the Confluence Wiki style. The page toolbar is visible in the header. Layout shows all page elements, including Navigator. Based on the Elastic (100% width) layout. This is a blockless page, so optimized for concurrent editing.

Community

Optimized for collaboration, showing community features such as "likes" and "comments". Use of this layout can help ease the Confluence learning curve, enabling users to start as page viewers and then feel encouraged to contributor through comments. Layout shows all page elements except the page toolbar. The w idth is fixed to 1100px.

Documentation

Optimized for consumers of long form text content such as articles, reports, and policies. Page title, page info, labels, and navigator are all shown by default.

Landing Page

A preconfigured layout that has been optimized for site and space home pages (or sub-landing pages). Like the "Clean" layout, all the page elements are hidden by default, giving full design control to designers and architects.
