Starred spaces appear at the top of your Home dashboard for easy access. To star a space, go to the space’s Overview and tap Star this space in the top right.
Navigating within a space
Use the space sidebar to navigate within a space. The space sidebar appears to the left of the page you’re viewing. It has three parts, each specific to the space you’re in.
The name of the space appears at the top of the space sidebar, followed by links to the space overview, blog, and space settings, plus dashboards for any apps you have installed.
Below these items, you’ll find your space shortcuts. These are links to important pages or websites that people who use the space need to be able to find easily. You can add shortcuts to pages in the space, in other spaces, or even on external websites.
Finally, there’s the content in the space. Pages are organized and displayed hierarchically in the page tree. To see the children of any page in the space, tap > next to the page name. Confluence automatically displays the children of the page you’re viewing.
Tap [ to show or hide the sidebar while you’re viewing a page.
To reorder pages within a space, just drag and drop; this should only be done by Confluence administrators and Space admins to prevent pages getting lost and links not working anymore.
Using search
Wherever your travels take you in Confluence , you can always find what you need. Use the search bar in the upper right 
to look for pages, blog posts, spaces, and even people. Results will begin to show up as soon as you start typing.
If your search returns too many results, you can filter them by space, contributors, content type, and more. Just tap ⏎ to go to advanced search.
Confluence doesn’t actually support using leading wildcards for searching, only trailing.
So searching on *amaha wont find Yamaha…. But searching on yamah* will find Yamaha.
There is a workaround however if you use /.*amaha.*/ it will find Yamaha.
Exploring your Home dashboard
Home makes it easy to explore your recent spaces and pages and stay updated on what’s happening in your organization. To the right of your dashboard, you’ll find site-wide announcements, calendars, and your site’s activity feed.
The activity feed is a treasure trove of recent and popular content across your site. These are pages and blog posts that other people in your company have liked or commented on. These updates can help you keep tabs on what’s going on across your company and gauge how your company culture is doing.
The more likes and comments a page gets in a short period of time, the higher it will rank in the popular activity feed.
