Blog Template

[Yuval Konstantini]

Hello community, I have a use case I would like to ask you a question about + hear your thoughts.

We need to document data each day (like a summery of events we manually write). We were thinking about creating a blog for each day. We encountered this issue: we must use a specific template for a blog post to document our summary.

1. Is there a way to create template for a blog?

2. Can you think of a better solution for our use case? I would like to hear if there are, as I'm new to the product.

Thank you very much, and happy holidays!

@Yuval Konstantini Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Blog posts cannot be templated in Confluence Cloud (or Server and Data Center for that matter, but there are Marketplace Apps for those platforms that create the functionality).

There are over 130 templates for pages available in Confluence Cloud. Does your use case noty fit any of them? If not, you can design your own page template that can be used to create a uniform daily log for you to publish the information you need to capture. 

I would also recommend weekly/monthly pages where the data can be updated, rather than creating a new page each day - after a short time administration will become a nightmare. Obviously it depends on the total volume of content you will be publishing each day - so my suggestion may not be one size fits all.

I hope this helps.

Hey Andy, thank you very much!

So I understand that we need to route our task to the pages and not blogs.

Create a template for a page sounds great, but for some reason I can't find how. Can you please assist me with that? 

Thank you very much for the advice!

Hey, we found out how to do it. thank you!

Is this feature on the roadmap? I can't understand why template functionality isn't available for blog posts.
