A page is the smallest unit of Confluence. When you create a guide for the Knowledge Base, you're assembling a series of pages. We've developed page types (categories or taxonomies of pages) to help organize guides. Each page type plays a unique role in helping users learn our applications.
| Page Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Glossary definition | Defines a word in the application guide. |
| Step-by-step guide | Guides users through a quick, granular task within the application. |
| Orientation guide | Provides non-linear information users need to understand an application. |
| Tutorial | Guides users through longer, more involved or advanced tasks within an application. |
| Branch page | Groups together pages under one broader section. |
| Landing page | Presents the application and the content of the application guide. |
Check out our content model guide to get a better idea of how these page types work together. The links in the first column provide more in-depth information on each page type.
