Once you've created content you'll want to share it with your team members. 
Confluence can do all the work for you, just click the Share button.

1. Let's tell someone about this page.
   Click the Share button at the top right of the page. It looks like this:
   
   
    
2. Type the name of the person or group you want to share the page with.
   You can also enter an email address.
   
   
3. Add a message to give the person some background about the page.
   
   
4. Click the Share button.
   Confluence will send the person an email message about this page. Shared!

If your administrator has not added a mail server, the Share button will only show the share link.

Why not give it a try?

Go to the bottom of this page and start typing in the comment area. When you're finished just press save! 

Don't just confine your comments to the bottom of the page - highlight some text on the page to add an inline comment like this:

Hint: You can mention another user in a page or  comment by typing @ and then the user's name.
The user will be notified that you mentioned them.

1. Edit the page.
     
2. Click the Page Layout button in the editor toolbar. It looks like this:
   
   
   
    A section is added to your page, dotted lines indicate the section boundaries. 
    
3. Choose a column layout to apply to your section, for example two columns.
   
   
    
4. Click the Add section button to add another section to the page.
   
   
    
5. Choose a different column layout for this section. 
   
   
6. Click Update to publish your changes to the page.

You can add as many sections as you need, and each section can have a different column layout. 

Let's start with the editor. You'll use the Confluence editor to create and edit pages.
You can type in the editor as you would in any document, apply formatting, and embed other content and files into the page.

The editor looks like this (click images for a larger view):

Here is a description of the components:

1. Editor toolbar

   The editor toolbar provides tools to format and color page content, create lists and tables, indent and align text, and insert other content into the page such as symbols, links, images, multimedia files, and macros.
   
   
   
   

2. Page content

   This is where you and your team will type the content for your page. You can also drag attachments from your desktop here.
   If other people are editing the page at the same time, you'll see their changes in real time! 
   
   
   

3. Publish or close

   We're saving all the time in the editor.  Once you're ready, hit publish to publish your page so others can see the changes, or close to finish editing later.
   
   
   
   

Pages live in spaces. This page is in the 'Demonstration Space'. 
 

Let's play with some content. Don't worry, you won't break anything:

1. Click Edit at the top of this page. Now you're in the editor.
   
   
2. Type some words anywhere on the page.
   
   
3. Have some fun: 

• • Change the color of the text: Select the text, then choose a color from the color option in the editor tool bar.
    
    
  • Add a link: Select some text, then choose the Link button on the toolbar.
    Click Web Link and enter an Address, such as http://www.atlassian.com.
    Click Insert to insert the link.
    
    
  • Find a file or picture on your computer, and drag it anywhere on this page.
    
    
  • Try some of the other options on the editor toolbar.

When you're ready, click Update to publish your changes then and go to the next step or back to the space home.
