Shortcut links are defined by the Confluence administrator. They are a quick way to create links to resources that are frequently referenced from Confluence. Administrators can maintain shortcuts from the "Shortcut Links" link in the administrative console.

For example, here are the shortcuts currently defined on http://confluence.atlassian.com:

For the examples I give below to work, these shortcuts must be configured on your Confluence server. If they aren't, ask your server administrator to add them.

Easy. You just specify in the link what should go on the end of the shortcut URL, followed by an at-sign and the name of the shortcut. Shortcut names are case-insensitive. So, for example:

ショートカット

結果の URL

Shortcut links can have titles just like any other link:

Currently, you can only have shortcuts append things to the end of URLs. We're planning on removing this limitation in future versions of Confluence.
