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 the

  two column section

   (recommended).

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

• The

  add (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: 

• The

  Horizontal rule

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

• Using

  Link

  , 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. 

  • 
    

    If linking to another Confluence page, don't just copy/paste the url. If the page changes locations on Confluence, that url will no longer work.

    
    

• Under Other macros: 

  • 
    

    Highlight will highlight the selected text.

    
    

  • 
    

    Tip will set off the selected text with a green background.

Creating labels:

• The

  label

  icon is located at the top of the page near the title. 

• Clicking on it will open a dialogue box where you can type in a label. 
  • If pre-existing, it will come up. If not, you can type in a new one. 
  • Click Add, then Close. 
• The label will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of the published page. 
• Clicking a label will take you to a linked list of all the pages with that label.
