I have been tasked with setting up a developer guidelines document for our backend development team. My idea was to set up a Space where guidelines can be easily added by every developer in the team. Every guideline: * Should consist of a title, description and code snippets * Should have tags for easy filtering * Should have the ability to be voted up or down * Should have the ability to be commented on to discuss Is it possible to set up a flow like this in Confluence?

Hi @Maarten Troonbeeckx Yes, with confluence you can set up a space and have everything you described. * Guidelines -> you can create a Template (Create a template | Confluence Cloud | Atlassian Support) that fits your needs and will be reused every time you need to create a new guideline * Tags -> By default confluence allows you add tags to the pages you create * Votes -> this is the tricky part, by default you can't vote on pages, but there are few apps in the market place that provides this feature (Multivote & Enterprise Survey for Confluence | Atlassian Marketplace, Polls, votes & Enterprise social networking for Confluence. | Atlassian Marketplace, etc) * Comments -> By default you can comment on the pages and create discussions around your content. Hope this helps! Cheers

I have been tasked with setting up a developer guidelines document for our backend development team. My idea was to set up a Space where guidelines can be easily added by every developer in the team.

Every guideline:

Should consist of a title, description and code snippets
Should have tags for easy filtering
Should have the ability to be voted up or down
Should have the ability to be commented on to discuss

Is it possible to set up a flow like this in Confluence?

Yes, with confluence you can set up a space and have everything you described.

Guidelines -> you can create a Template (Create a template | Confluence Cloud | Atlassian Support) that fits your needs and will be reused every time you need to create a new guideline
Tags -> By default confluence allows you add tags to the pages you create
Votes -> this is the tricky part, by default you can't vote on pages, but there are few apps in the market place that provides this feature (Multivote & Enterprise Survey for Confluence | Atlassian Marketplace, Polls, votes & Enterprise social networking for Confluence. | Atlassian Marketplace, etc)
Comments -> By default you can comment on the pages and create discussions around your content.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Maarten Troonbeeckx ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Your best way of working would be to create a template that the developers could use.

Check out the documentation on how to do this here: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-template/ , if your Confluence is on the .atlassian.net domain. Or here if it's a self hosted instance: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-template-296093779.html

Cheers,
Peter
