Confluence - create a template from a current page

Julio Valdez

Hi,

I have a request to create a Confluence template from a current page. I copied/pasted the current page while creating the template but I see that it's not exactly the same. What is the proper way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

@Julio Valdez Copy and paste should work. If the paste messes up your formatting, try to copy and paste the code.

Note: Source editor will need to be enabled in Confluence administration.

Source page
Edit mode
Click <> top right
Copy code
Go into space tools / content tools / edit-create new template
Click <> top right
Paste over current code

@Jonathan Smith Thanks for the suggestion. I did as you stated but I still see a discrepancy (broken links; see attached screen shots).

What else do you suggest? template II.JPG confluence page II.JPG template III.JPG confluence page III.JPG confluence page.JPG

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you can attach files to a template. I am assuming agenda1 is an embedded file.

Try this:

Try to put Agenda1-5 (documents) into a file list on the space.
In your template, type Agenda 1, but then make that a link to the file in the file list.
See if your links display as broken.

If you can't attach files to a template I'll inform the requester and leave it at that. Thanks!
