Getting Started

Welcome to the Getting Started Guide for Diary for Confluence Cloud! In this guide you will learn how to install the app, put a diary on a page, and write your first entry.

Short on time? No problem. If you already know Confluence, insert the Diary macro on any page, publish, and start writing — then head to the User Guide for the rest.

Before you begin

Make sure you have:

  • A Confluence Cloud site with permission to install apps from the Atlassian Marketplace (usually a site or product admin)

  • Edit permission on the pages where you want to keep a diary

That is the whole list. Diary has no global and no space configuration, so there is nothing for an administrator to switch on afterwards.

What you will do

  1. Install Diary from the Atlassian Marketplace

  2. Insert the Diary macro on a page and publish it

  3. Write your first entry — without ever leaving view mode
