3. Organise your pages

Here are some tips for organising your content.

  • Change the page order

The sidebar on the left displays your pages in a hierarchy. If you have Space Administrator permissions you can click "Space Tools" > "Reorder Pages" to move pages around.

  • Add labels

Labels help keep pages organised and make it easier for you to find the information you need. Click "Labels" at the bottom of a page to add or edit. The "Related pages" section on this page uses labels too!

  • Make templates

Standardise and speed up the page creation process with templates. You can create and format a template with page layouts, standard headings and instructional text for hints and guidelines. Check out our sample page on "Making a template"

Info
titleIMPORTANT SECURITY INFORMATION

This application uses AWS SDK for Browser to fetch information of your resources. In other words, it is the user's browser that makes the network request to the AWS APIs.

Therefore credentials that required to access the AWS APIs need to be made available to the browser. The credentials are stored with your Confluence instance. When AWS SDK make requests, the Macro load the credentials and use that to sign the requests. So the credentials is not transmitted via network.

Our recommendation is to use credentials that grant only the minimum access. In all cases, a read-only access to the resource is sufficient. You can also limit it to only having permissions to access only part of your resources.

To summarise:

  • Credentials are stored within your confluence instance and are used to sign the request sent to AWS.
  • Credentials will be made available to the AWS SDK running in the browser, so it is possible to access them from the browsers developer tools.
  • Credentials is not sent to any third party (including AWS server, AWS Widgets server).
  • Make sure to use least privileged permissions (readonly). 

2. Add a Widget to your page

  • Click the far-right "+" icon to add the AWS Widgets macro to the page.
  • Input the "ARN or Resource ID".
  • Click Describe.
