Users can create editable forms to enter page content by creating a template. For example, a software development project may have a template for use-cases; or a systems administration space, a template for defining what information is being kept about each server.
In Confluence, there are two types of templates:
Global templates can only be created by site administrators, and space templates by space administrators.
Templates are written in regular Confluence markup, using special markup to define form fields that need to be filled in.
Here is an example:

Currently, templates can only be used to create a page. Once a page is created, the template is gone and all further editing is performed as if the template was never used. Some plugins provided expanded functionality for strictly templated content. See below for more information. |
Two popular plugins that expand on template behaviour are the Zones Plugin and Scaffolding Plugin. Below is a comparision:
