Bring your own template

The enbl.it Confluence add-on provides you with templates that have proven successful in numerous implementations. However, we understand that these templates may not always meet your specific needs. This is why we provide a mechanism that allows you to replace individual templates with your own custom versions.

Step 1: Create your own template

The simplest way is to copy and modify the corresponding enbl.it template. Go to Space Settings → Look and Feel → Templates and click the edit icon (1) for the desired template. The template editor opens, and you can copy the template content using CTRL+A and CTRL+C (MacOS: CMD+A and CMD+C).

Exit the editor and create a new template (2). Paste the copied content there and make your customizations.

Step 2: Adjusting the enbl.it Configuration

Switch from templates to enbl.it Settings via Space Settings → App Links → enbl.it Settings. Select your newly created template for the corresponding page type. Changes are saved automatically, and your new template will be used the next time a page is created.

Additional important information:

  • Your existing pages will remain unchanged

  • Only newly created pages will use the new template

  • You can switch back to the default templates at any time

  • Different page types (like Customer Journeys, Initiatives) can use different custom templates

Change standard template

 

Use the macro Create page from template | enbl.it for page creation. Your template changes will only take effect when using our Create page from template | enbl.it macro. This macro is active in all overview pages and templates, and you can easily add it to your own pages as well.

Some key points to remember:

  • The macro ensures consistent use of your custom templates

  • It's pre-integrated into all system-generated pages

  • You can incorporate it into any custom page you create

  • The standard Confluence create page function won't use your custom templates
