Setting up the page:

  • Click on the "Page layout" icon to format the page – top right circled icon in picture.

  • This will expand the toolbar and you can select thetwo column section (recommended).

    • This way you can create a column of text on the left and a column with pictures on the right.

  • Theadd (and remove) section button is located here too. It will add a new section (of two columns) below where your cursor is placed. 



Adding pictures:

  • To upload a picture, click on the "Insert files and images" icon. 

  • If you've taken a screenshot (using Snip & Sketch, for example), you can just paste/Ctrl v the screenshot.
  • If you'd like to mark up your picture with circles and arrows, etc., you will need to take a Snip of your screen and then open it in an editor like Paint. 


  • You can change the size of your picture by clicking on it and selecting small, medium, large or Original. 
  • Experiment with what size is largest (easiest to see), while still displaying the whole image. 
  • When your page is published, viewers will be able to click on the pictures to enlarge them. 

Useful macros: 

  • TheHorizontal rule creates a line, which can be useful to place between sections. It will appear above where you place your cursor.

  • UsingLink, you can link to another relevant page in Confluence. 

    • Click on Link and a search bar will appear where you can type in the title of the page (and limit to LTS Training Resources), and a link to that page will be created.
