The basic concepts

Before we start creating content in Confluence, we need to have a basic understanding of the concepts used within Confluence.

Spaces

To organize content in Confluence we use spaces, which come in two types. A space is an area within Confluence, containing your pages. Spaces can be thought of as a subsites or a containers, with their own page structure and home page.

Global spaces are areas that define your Confluence structure. For example, you may want to separate areas based on team, department, or topic.

Personal spaces belong to specific users. Personal spaces can be set to be kept private or open, for every user to see and edit. Personal spaces can be used for personal information such as blog posts, bookmarks, and attachments. Administrators can choose to disable personal spaces altogether.

Each space has space-specific content (pages, blog posts, and so on) and space-specific permissions. The space content can be exported individually.
