How to create additional "sections" for Confluence pages

[Charles]

Is it possible to create additional sections for Pages?  Currently, there are only the standard seven sections (Product Requirements, How-to articles, File lists, Meeting notes, Retrospectives, Project Plans, and Decision Log).

When you are referring to "sections," are you referring to templates as mentioned here?

That link should provide you with the information you need about adding new templates or creating your own, as well.

Will this then create the appropriate section for the template as well?

I am referring to these locations where you save the files.

Ah, I see. These sections appear to be just "top-level" pages within the space you're viewing. If you add another page at the same hierarchy level as those pages, you should be able to create new "sections" in that space.

And to answer your question, no, I don't believe adding a new template will create a "section" or top-level page. I'm not in your Confluence instance, though, so I'm not sure if this is controlled via some add-on or something.
