18
19 = Create the first page =
20
21 Click **Create from template** (the three dots next to Create)
22
23 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_10-55-31.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" height="250"]]
24
25 You can see the different page templates, select Blank page, then click** Create** at the bottom:
26
27 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_10-57-4.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="900"]]
28
29 = Link a Jira issue into the page content =
30
31 If you would like to insert a link to a Jira ticket in your page content (at first you have to create the exact ticket), click on the **Insert macros** button and select **Jira Issue/Filter:**
32 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_11-49-3.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
33
34 Type the ticket's name (key or summary) on the top (in this example the //Deploy microservices// ticket can be inserted), then click **Insert** at the bottom:
35
36 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_11-50-11.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="700"]]
37
38 To see the result, you have to **Publish** the page.
39
40 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_11-56-19.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
41
42 Now the link to the ticket is created and the //status// of the ticket (in the example it is IN PROGRESS) is shown. Clicking the link will open the ticket in Jira.
43
44 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_11-59-39.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
45
46 If the //status of the ticket changes//, this will be reflected in the Confluence page (in this example the ticket status is changed to DONE).
47
48 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_12-2-51.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
49
50 The created page can be seen on the left side under **PAGE TREE** (which represents the hierarchy of the created pages also)
51
52 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_12-11-6.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="500"]]
53
54 You can create other pages by repeating this method (create, then publish).
55
56 = Create the second page and link to the first page =
57
58 In this example a new blank page is created to show the backlog of the progress of the project.
59
60 To create a table click on the **Insert table** icon:
61
62 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_12-16-1.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="800"]]
63
64 Insert the Jira tickets in the Summary column and the explanation in the Description column.
65
66 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_12-20-18.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
67
68 To link this page to the first page, just select the first page (in this example the //Microservices// page), then click **Edit**
69
70 Click the **Insert macros** icon, then click the** Insert link** option.
71
72 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_12-52-4.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
73
74 In the Insert link window, start to type the title of the page and select from the results.
75
76 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_12-53-16.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="900"]]
77
78 You can change the text of the link in the **Link text** field, in this example it is not changed.
79
80 To create the link click on **Insert button** on the bottom.
81
82 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_12-54-50.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="900"]]
83
84 You can see the link immediately, in this example the //Backlog// link (marked as blue):
85
86 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_14-11-20.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" height="250"]]
87
88 You have to **Update** (publish again) the page to test the link:
89
90 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_13-29-9.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="800"]]
91
92 Every time you modify your content, you can see the results by clicking Update. You can also set the //notify watchers//  option to if you would like to notify other users about the changes.
93
94 Clicking the created link (in this example Backlog) loads the linked page:
95
96 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_13-56-21.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" height="114"]]
97
98 = Setup Page Hierarchy =
99
100 If you created at least two pages you can setup the page hierarchy (it will appear under PAGE TREE on the left).
101
102 In this example we have Microservices that can be moved below the Backlog page.
103
104 Select the page that you would like to move in the hierarchy of the pages, then click **Page menu** (next to Share button with the three dots), and select **Move**:
105
106 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_14-13-4.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
107
108 Type the name and select the new parent page (in this example Backlog):
109
110 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_14-14-43.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
111
112 Click **Move** at the bottom:
113
114 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_14-16-17.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="900"]]
115
116 Now the moved page is shown below the selected page in the PAGE TREE:
117
118 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_14-17-37.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="900"]]
119
120 = Table of Contents =
121
122 If you would like to add a table of contents to your page, at first you have to create the titles by selecting one of the Heading formats for the text:
123
124 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_14-28-0.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
125
126 Then click **Insert macros** icon and select **Table of Contents**.
127
128 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_14-28-48.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
129
130 A dialog pops up that let's you customize certain aspects of the table of contents (in this example nothing is changed). Click **Insert** once you're done:
131
132 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_14-30-4.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="900"]]
133
134 Now the **Table of Contents** macro appears at the last cursor position on the page:
135
136 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_14-32-14.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" height="543" width="500"]]
137
138 To check the macro simply **Update** the page and the Table of contents is created from your page's headings:
139
140 [[image:attach:image2019-8-6_14-36-21.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" height="502" width="500"]]
