To edit a page:
- Navigate to and open the page you want to change.
- Click Edit.
- Make your changes, just as you would in Microsoft Word.
- To clear formatting, select the More icon and click Clear Formatting . Confluence clears all formatting in the selected paragraph. This is useful when Confluence adds unnecessary formatting tags (such as <span> tags) in the source.
- To edit the source, click the Source Editor icon (<>), located in the upper right corner of the page. This is useful in the following scenarios and others:
- To clear some formatting in a paragraph, but not all of it.
- To insert an indented paragraph between steps (such as the "click Apply" statement below).
- To edit the file name of an existing image on the page.
- To add an exit disclaimer after an external link, as described in Marking Links as External to US Government.
When you are done editing the source, click Apply.
- Consider describing the change in a change comment for future reference:
Notifications and comparisons are not clear about image changes, such as when you add or edit alt-text, so consider mentioning that in a change comment.
Notifications and comparisons are not clear about changes to wiki page title, so consider mentioning that in a change comment.
If you edit a page for a particular Jira ticket, consider mentioning that in a change comment.
- When you are done editing the page, click Save.
