Pages

The Pages module is designed to organize and display related Confluence in one place, making access simple and structured. It is especially useful for project hubs, document control, change management, and process documentation. By providing a clear overview of grouped content, the module supports better navigation, efficiency, and information management.

Insert

To add a module to a Confluence page, follow these steps:

  • Open the desired page or create a new one.

  • Enter edit mode and click the "+" icon in the toolbar, or press "/" on the keyboard to open the module menu.

  • Type "Pulse" or ""  in the search bar and select the "Pulse" module from the list to open the configuration dialog.

  • In the configuration dialog, select the module from the overview screen and adjust settings in the configuration drawer as needed.

  • Clicking "Cancel" will exit the setup without inserting the module.

Configuration

When the module dialog opens, a live preview displays the latest pages from the Confluence instance, ready to be customized to fit the intended use case.

Pages background image (Card View)

For card pages view, the background image is automatically set to the page's header image, ensuring a cohesive and relevant visual experience.

On pages where a specific page lacks a header image, the app selects and displays a random image from Unsplash. This fallback mechanism guarantees that every pages card remains visually attractive and engaging, enhancing the overall user experience by maintaining a consistent and appealing aesthetic across all pages content.

Layout

The Layout tab defines how pages is presented, offering options to choose the view type and control how all pages items will appear within the module.

Display Options

The display settings allow selection from several views to best match the desired presentation style. Available options include Card, Compact CardMini CardList, and Compact List. Each offering a distinct layout for showcasing pages content.

Sorting options include TitleCreation Date, and Modification Date, with Creation Date set as the default.

Flexible display elements

Pages module can be customized by enabling or disabling elements such as Author, Space, Date, Comments, and Likes. This allows flexible presentation of pages content, adapting the appearance to various communication goals or visual styles.

The availability of these elements depends on the selected pages view. All displayed information is sourced directly from Confluence and cannot be modified within the module.

Styling

Styling options include only corner rounding.

Pagination

The Pages module offers customizable pagination settings to manage content display and improve performance. It is possible to choose between three pagination types: Show MorePrevious/Next, and Inactive (no pagination).

Two key settings are available:

  • Items per Page: Defines how many pages items are initially loaded on the first page.

  • Max Number of Items: Sets the maximum number of pages items displayed within the module.

These options help control content volume, particularly useful in environments with thousands of pages , ensuring both performance and a smooth user experience.

Content

The Content tab defines the source of the pages and controls which content is displayed. Content can be configured in two ways: Dynamic or Manual.

Dynamic

By applying filters, the widget automatically updates to display newly published content that matches the defined criteria. This ensures the pages feed stays current without requiring manual updates. Content can be filtered by labelsspaces, parent pages, and creators, allowing precise control over what is shown.

Manual

This method enables manual selection of specific pages for display. It offers greater control over the content shown but requires manual updates to include new posts, making it a more curated and less automated approach.

Group Pages in tabs

Tabs in the Pages module help organize related content in a clean, structured layout within a single module. Instead of creating multiple separate Pages modules for different topics, tabs allow grouping them together, making content easier to manage and navigate.

The Layout settings applies globally to all tabs within the Pages module, ensuring a consistent visual style across each section. The Content, however, is configured separately for each individual tab. This means that content, whether set manually or dynamically, must be defined per tab, allowing each one to display different sources or filtering rules as needed.

Personalized content

View permissions can be managed globally for the entire module or individually per tab when tabs are enabled. Using Collections from Cosmos, it's possible to define exactly who can see specific content. This enables personalized experiences, where different tabs are visible to different audiences, each showing tailored information based on user groups.

The personalization feature, powered by Cosmos – the Intranet for Confluence, enhances this even further. With tabs, each section can reflect a unique theme or target group. Without tabs, the entire module can be focused on a specific audience, creating a unified and purposeful display.
