How to create template that can be used by my team for creating their pages

[Anu Jacob]

I am trying to create a template in confluence that can be used by my team. However, I need to import it every time from the google docs or from my word doc on my system. Is there a way i can default it on confluence itself

[Jimi Wikman]

Yes, you can create a template in Confluence that you can use anytime.

Go to your space settings -> templates and then click Create Template in the top right corner.

That will allow you to create a template that others can use when they create new pages.

You will need to be a space admin to create a template in a space.  Here are the instructions on how to do so.  https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-space-from-a-template/

thank you I was able to create template. Does anyone know how to create the template as a macro that we can click and that template will populate

[Jimi Wikman]

When you create the template, it will appear on the right side with the other templates as you create a new page. There are quite a few of them, so there is a tab called "Custom" that will show only your custom templates.

There are two macros that you can use when creating the template that are quite useful:

• Placeholder text - this will allow you to add instructions that can only be seen in edit mode.
• New Variable - that let you create input fields that are filled out when creating the page.
