Space Tools Tab

Space Tools Tab modules enable add-ons to insert tabs into Confluence Space Tools area. These can be automatically resized to the width and height of your add-on's content. The location attribute defines which section the tab will appear.

Spaces page with the Documentation Theme do not support the Space Tools area, and instead display the legacy Space Admin area. This module will insert a tab in a pre-defined location in Space Admin (look below for a complete list of existing locations).

Description

The sub-section where this Space Tools Tab should appear. The primary section for Space Tabs is system.space.tools, and the location specified here will be beneath that. e.g setting a location of "contenttools" will result in a final location of system.space.tools/contenttools.

Confluence comes the following standard sections in Space Tools:

  • system.space.tools/overview
  • system.space.tools/permissions
  • system.space.tools/contenttools
  • system.space.tools/lookandfeel
  • system.space.tools/integrations
  • system.space.tools/addons

In future, Connect add-ons will be able to define new web sections, which will enable add-ons to define new sub-sections for Space Tools.

Legacy Space Admin section cannot be defined, and is always system.space.admin/spaceops

params

Type
object

weight

Type
integer
Defaults to
100
Description

Determines the order in which the page's link appears in the menu or list.

The "lightest" weight (i.e., lowest number) appears first, rising relative to other items, while the "heaviest" weights sink to the bottom of the menu or list.

Built-in web items have weights that are incremented by numbers that leave room for additional items, such as by 10 or 100. Be mindful of the weight you choose for your item, so that it appears in a sensible order given existing items.
