Show new HTML in Confluence instead of existing Dashboard page.

[Jaydeep Hirani]

My requirement is to show new HTML for home page in confluence instead of existing Dashboard page with some components of confluence like Create from Template.

Do I have to modify existing decorators (like main.vmd) or add new ones.

Request to please provide me guidelines on what all changes do I need to make considering I am new to Confluence.

Thanks in advance for helping me out.

Hello Jaydeep,

Thank you for contacting us. Happy to help.

I would say that if you want to include custom HTML within a single page of Confluence, you should use the HTML Macro. This allows you to embed code into a single Confluence page. 

If you want to customize the whole of Confluence with HTML or CSS, then have a look at Customizing Site and Space Layouts, and Changing the Look and Feel of Confluence.

Before making any changes like this, do make sure to create a backup of your Confluence instance, in case you need to revert any changes.

Regards,

Shannon

Thanks Shannon, This really helped and I was able to customize UI of confluence pages by creating Theme plugin.
