Templates

Templates are reusable Word export profiles. Each template stores a complete configuration: page setup, fonts, header and footer, cover page, watermark and more. Users apply templates at export time; admins manage them from Confluence Settings.

Built-In Templates

Three templates are set up automatically on install:

Default

A clean Word document with page numbers and no cover page.

Report

For formal documents and reports: a cover page, a table of contents, and page breaks before sections.

Minimal

No header, footer, or page numbers, just the content.

Applying a Template

When opening Word Exporter, select a template from the dropdown in the sidebar before exporting. The template is applied to all selected pages in that export.

Custom Templates

Admins can create any number of custom templates from Confluence Settings → Word Exporter. Custom templates are available to all users on the Confluence site.

See Template Management for full instructions on creating and editing templates.

Admins can archive templates to remove them from the user-facing list without permanently deleting them. Archived templates can be restored at any time.
