Labels

Labels are key words or tags that you can add to pages, blog posts and attachments. You can define your own labels and use them to categorize, identify or bookmark content in Confluence.

For example, you could assign the label 'accounting' to all accounts-related pages on your site. You can then browse all pages with that label in a single space or across the site, display a list of pages with that label, or search based on the label.

Because labels are user-defined, you can add any word that helps you identify the content in your site.

Below the basics for label usage is explained,  if you want to know more read the following Atlassian page: Add, Remove and Search for Labels and Display Pages with Label Macros.

Label a page or blog post

Any user with permission to edit a page can add labels to it. Any existing labels appear at the bottom-right of the page, below the page content.

To add a label to a page or blog post:

  1. At the bottom of the page, choose Edit labels Image Added or hit L on your keyboard
  2. Type in a new label (existing labels are suggested as you type)
  3. Choose Add

Image Added

If you're editing or creating a page, and you want to add labels, choose the Edit label icon Image Added at the top of the page.

Search by label

You can use the ' labelText: ' prefix to search specifically for content that has a specific label. For example, if you're looking for pages with the label 'chocolate', type labelText:chocolate into the search field in the Confluence header.

For more examples of searching by label, see Confluence Search Syntax.




 


Macro's 

Macros are how you supercharge your Confluence pages. 

...

The Table of Contents macro scans the headings on the current Confluence page to create a table of contents based on those headings or selected zone.
This helps readers find their way around lengthy pages, by summarizing the content structure and providing links to headings. 
Headings can be found at left side in the upper bar.
