This page contains notes concerning the global appearance of Confluence, templates, and generally administration guidelines for appearance, campus-wide. it is not open to anyone outside ITS and COLI . The purpose is to create a set of guidelines for creating Confluence content that can be the basis for campus-wide use, tutorials, workshops, and so forth. ITS pages should model these practices as far as possible.will eventually become the wiki page style guide for Canisius College.
