Browse Confluence Templates with a Gallery on Your Site

[#1]

Hi Atlassian Community,

My name is Avni Barman and I am a Product Manager on the Confluence Cloud team! We are excited to announce that we are bringing a template gallery directly to your Confluence site to help you get inspired when creating content. You’ll be able to easily explore best practices, browse, and preview different template options before committing to using them.

In a few weeks, you will be able to check out this template gallery yourself by heading to the Confluence top navigation.

Get Inspired and Create High-Quality Content for Your Team

On your site’s template gallery you can…

• Browse and preview all templates

• Explore cards easily using your arrow keys

• Filter by space or category

• Search for the right template using keywords

• Use a template and land directly in the editor to start creating content right away

Eventually, you will also have the capability to sort these templates by Recommended and star your favorite templates. These starred templates can be accessed from the Starred category. We hope that this will help you more easily access relevant templates you are most likely to find useful all in one place.

Feedback or Questions

Don’t forget to let us know any feedback or questions you have in the comments. We’d love to hear your suggestions on how we can make this experience even better for you!

Just wanted to say that it's really nice to be able to visualize the template before using it. Very nice ! 

[Ira Chandler]

WONDERFUL.  So this works with the "FUNCTIONAL" editor, right?  Not that watered-down joke of a NEW "kiddie" editor that you are foisting on us, right?

[Rose Eliff]

Good point, @Ira Chandler . If it doesn't use the legacy editor (with all the functionality for image sizing, borders, etc.), then these won't be of use to my company. 

[Ira Chandler]

@Rose Eliff  You have a lot of nerve needing functionality that the G-ds at Altlassian deemed unnecessary for mere mortals like us.  Aren't we supposed to just bow down and adjust our OWN business requirements to suit what some committee (a camel is a horse designed by a committee) deems allowable?  I am feeling very obstinate.

Great idea.

Will it still allow us to Promote custom templates ahead of the Atlassian stock templates?

[Avni]

@Ira Chandler @Rose Eliff yes you will able to use either editor in the Template Gallery just as you would with the regular Create flow.

@Darryl St. Pierre Currently, the template gallery is sorted alphabetically. In the future, you will be able to sort by recommended so that templates are sorted by frequency of use. For now, you can filter by "Promoted" templates just by selecting the "Promoted" category pill. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
