Hello, I am creating a user guide for a product, and I would like toinclude the sidebar (parent-child pages hierarchy in the left) and a page into a public view.

But when I embed confluence into wix, I can only see a single page in the iframe window with no hierarchy.

I'd like look and feel of aws documentation. 

Can I do it in confluence?

Hello, fellow newbie @2Moon

As @Brant Schroeder suggested in his answer, the easiest way would be to make your space public in Confluence with anonymous access. However, please bear in mind that the native Confluence elements such as the breadcrumbs, space settings, page history, and comments will also remain accessible.

To control what can be published, you can explore apps on the Atlassian Marketplace. I would like to direct your attention to Spacecraft. Our app can turn a public Confluence space into a slick website with a sidebar on the left. The end result would look a lot like this user guide that is powered by Spacecraft. You could also add multiple Confluence spaces to one site.

@2Moon Welcome to the Atlassian community

Instead of embedding the Confluence space as a iFrame you should look at making the space public.  https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/make-a-space-public/ 

This way you can just link to the space and have all the menu on the left hand side as a normal Confluence page.

Hi @2Moon 

To expand on @Angela Thomas_Seibert Group answer...

Using a so-called theme app is a common way to present your Confluence content for your end users. There's Spacecraft, Refined for Confluence.

We're using Scroll Viewport for our site because, unlike most theme apps, it allows us to keep our Confluence spaces to stay private (no need for anonymous access), we can put it on our own domain, customize CSS and JS, and have an internal version of the site behind our SSO. 

There's also Instant Website for Confluence.
