Labels help you keep related pages together, for your own reference and to help other users of the site. This page assembles the instructions in the Confluence User Guide pages on labels. If you read through the steps and try each one in another tab or window, you'll quickly see the benefit of labels.
You can add a label to any page as follows:
- On the View tab for the page, click the Edit link next to Label, below the page title.
You can add a global label that everyone can see and use, or a personal label that only you can see and use.
- To add a global label, type the label and click Add or select the label.
- To add a personal label, type my:label, where "label" is the label you want to use and click Add, or select another label with the prefix my:.
You can remove any label you have added:
- Click the link to edit the label and click the link or icon to remove it.
If you have the needed privileges, you can add a label to a space (if you do not have these links and want a space label, ask an administrator):
- Click Browse Space at the top right corner of the page.
- Click the Advanced tab and click Edit Space Details in the page text.
- Click Edit Space Labels in the left navigation. In the Labels area, type the label and click Add, or select a label.
You can add a Team label to a space, to associate all the spaces for one team (to see spaces with a Team label, click the Team tab in the Spaces area on the Dashboard):
- Click Browse Space at the top right corner of the page.
- Click the Advanced tab and click Edit Space Details in the page text.
- Click Edit Space Labels in the left navigation. In the Team Labels area, type the label and click Add, or select a label.
To see all the pages with a particular label:
- Search for the label; the matching label, if any, will be listed above the search results. Click the link for the label to display all the content on the site with that label.
- - OR - Click Browse Space and then click the Labels tab to see all the labels for a space. The All labels or Popular labels view opens depending on your last visit. Up to fifteen most Recent Labels and Popular Labels in the space are also listed.
- Click All labels to view a list of all labels in the space. If desired, click the link to view an alphabetical list of the labels for all spaces or all your personal labels. Click a label to list all content in the space with that label and any existing related labels (that frequently appear on pages together).
- Click Popular labels to view a list of the most frequently used labels in the space. Click the global popular labels link to view the most popular global labels on the site. Click a label to list all content in the site with that label.
- In both of these views, select the link to sort the listing of labels alphabetically or in order of their popularity. The bigger the font size, the more popular the label.
- - OR - Click the link for your profile (your name in the upper right of the screen) and click the Label tab to see the pages labeled with your personal labels.
- - OR - If you are in a page that has labels, click a label to go to the Label tab of the Browse Space view where all content in the space with the label you clicked will be listed. Click the link See content from all spaces to view all content on the site with the same label.
You can use labels to help you navigate by including label macros in your pages as explained by Confluence.
