Confluence creators, who manage one or more pages for an office or department, might control only one page, or might have multiple pages arranged in a parent-child relationship. If you manage a set of pages, you should provide navigation on your pages so that users can find your other pages. For example, on your highest-level parent page, you can provide links to navigate to your child pages. In this guide, you will discover how to have an automated gadget called a macro manage that for you. You can also learn how to headings and a table of contents macro provide easy, automated navigation for visitors on your pages (as is done on this page you are reading now.)
Restrictions
Pages, and in some cases whole spaces, can be restricted so that only certain people can view or edit them. Some pages are visible to all Canisius employees, but no one else - not students, nor the rest of the world on the web. Others are limited to just a few faculty or staff. Probably most pages on the wiki are visible to the entire world, since they are used by divisions, offices, or departments to broadcast information that is not sensitive but is helpful to everyone at Canisius, and maybe clients, stakeholders, partners, or prospect students off-campus. If you cannot find a particular page you believe exists in the Canisius wiki, start by logging in. Then, if you cannot find it via search or navigation, contact someone whom you believe may be able to grant you access to it.

At wiki.canisius.edu, you'll find a home or landing page for the entire Canisius wiki. Here, visitors can see three major navigation methods in the wiki.
On the lefthand side you'll find various buttons that point to menus specifically for students, faculty or staff, or the basic organization of the college: divisions, schools, and so on. You can also see a "faculty and staff ResourcesOn the righthand side you'll see a list of spaces, that are subdivisions of the wiki. Depending on your position at the college, you may or may not see certain spaces. (So, too, with pages within spaces.) are two navigation options that are currently under construction and only partially complete. One is the college organization chart. The other is the resources chart. Each has a starting grid with links on the wiki landing page:
The College organization navigation tree simply follows the organization of the college and in most cases, that of wiki spaces. Here, the division links go directly to spaces for each of the five divisions. There, pages or links are arranged by office or departments.
The Resources links provide a faster track for visitors to reach things most relevant to them, faster.
On the righthand side is a Space list. This is an older navigation method that will be phased out as the lefthand navigation options are completed.
Breadcrumbs
Within any space, you can use the links up top, arranged between slashes, to go back up the chain of parent pages. So, for example, if I see Getting Started in Confluence / Dashboard / Canisius Wiki: the Basics / How Stuff is Organized in Confluence at the top of a page, I can click "Canisius Wiki: the Basics," to return to that page, and "Getting Started in Confluence" to return to the space's home or top-level parent page.

If you manage multiple pages within the wiki, you should provide navigation on your pages so that users can find your other pages. For example, on your highest-level parent page, you can provide links to navigate to your child pages. In this guide, you will discover how to have an automated gadget called a macro manage that for you. You can also learn how to headings and a table of contents macro provide easy, automated navigation for visitors on your pages (as is done on this page you are reading now.)
If you are using a desktop or laptop computer, or some mobile devices, you may see a collapsible lefthand menu that also contains page navigation within a space. This will work if you see it , but many mobile devices do not display it. If you are building and maintaining Wiki pages, we recommend you add menus within pages, too. So if you manage wiki content you need to provide navigation for your users within your pages. If you do not, mobile users will likely tell you they cannot find content you told them was in the wiki.
Search
The wiki has a search feature (in the upper right of any screen) that frequently returns helpful results. However, the wiki is a continuous work in progress, so page titles, especially on older pages, can often be non-descriptive and unhelpful when searching. So please be patient; search results should improve over time.
