Confluence Overview
A global Knowledge Base made up of smaller knowledge bases
Confluence is a content management system that allows companies to post, organize and
...
present documents of any kind. For our purposes, the best way to define it would be that it
...
is global Knowledge Base made up of smaller knowledge bases.
These smaller knowledge bases are called "Spaces." Each Space is an independent area with its own title, look and feel, and permission scheme. There are 3 main types of spaces within our instance of Confluence.

- Home: Evolve IP-internal knowledge base that serves multiple purposes
- Evolve IP Knowledge Base
...
- : our customer-facing knowledge base
...
- Functional Area-specific spaces

- : Examples include
- proddev
- Compute Product
- Service Delivery

Functional Area-specific spaces
We have various other spaces specific to functional areas that were too large to place within the functional-area section of our Home space. You can access all of them by clicking the "Spaces" menu in the top menu bar of Confluence.
There are too many to list here, but below you will see a screenshot of the Compute Product space. Each space is fully customizable allowing space admins to configure the look and feel of the space, as well as set access permissions.
