Sections
How to customize sections of the Enterprise Theme.
The layout of the Enterprise Theme is divided into multiple sections, and every section can be configured independently. Sections can be configured either globally or per space. If no space-specific section has been configured, the section content configured globally will be displayed in all sections. The content of a section is defined as XHTML, the same markup as Confluence uses for content. You can use the same macros and formatting features you already know for your section content.
Available Sections
Header | The header section is displayed above any page and blog content and uses the full width of the screen. By default, it contains the Metamenu macro to display the menu and language switcher. |
|---|---|
Page Sidebar | The page sidebar section is displayed on the left side of any page content and only visible when visiting pages. By default, it contains the Spacelogo macro to display the logo of the current space, the Page Tree macro to display the navigation tree of the space, the Recently Updated macro to list recent blog posts and the Space Manager macro to see the responsible person for this space, if there is one configured. |
Blog Sidebar | The blog sidebar section is displayed on the left side of any blog content and only visible when visiting blog posts. By default, it contains the Spacelogo macro to display the logo of the current space, the Blogpost tree to navigate blog posts, the Page Tree macro to display the navigation tree of the space, the Recently Updated macro to list recent blog posts and the Space Manager macro to see the responsible person for this space, if there is one configured. |
Page Bottom | The page bottom section is displayed at the bottom of any page content and only visible when visiting pages. By default, it contains the Labeleditor Box macro to display the label editor, the Comment Box macro to show comments and the Attachment Box macro to list any attachments of the page. |
Blog Bottom | The blog bottom section is displayed at the bottom of any blog content and only visible when visiting blog posts. By default, it contains the Labeleditor Box macro to display the label editor, the Comment Box macro to show comments and the Attachment Box macro to list any attachments of the blog post. |
Footer | The footer section is displayed at the bottom and uses the full width of the screen. By default, it contains the Metamenu macro to display any footer entries. |
Customize a section globally
To customize a section globally:
Choose the cog icon ⚙, at top right of the screen, then choose General configuration (You need Admin rights to see the cog icon).
Select Sections under Enterprise Theme in the left-hand panel. This will show you all the sections with their position visually to help you see where your changes will take effect.
Click on any of the sections to customize this section's content.
Customize a section in a space
To customize a section in a space:
Go to the space in which you would like to customize the section.
Navigate to the space administration. Please refer to the page Navigating to the Space Administration if you are unsure how to find it.
Select Sections under Enterprise Theme. This will show you all the sections with their position visually to help you see where your changes will take effect.
Click on any of the sections to customize this section's content.
Labels help you to see which sections have been customized globally or use some space specific content. You will either see one of the following labels:
GLOBAL The section currently uses the content configured globally.
CUSTOMIZED The content of the section has been customized for the current space and is different from the content configured globally.
Section Editor
To edit the content of a section, you use the same editor as Confluence uses itself. This allows you to use the same macros and formatting features you already know for your section content.
Once you've customized the content of a section, a reset button will be displayed next to the save button, which allows you to either:
Use Default: reset the content of the section to the default content for the section (for sections configured globally).
Use Global: reset the content of the section to the content configured globally (for sections customized in a space).
