Creating New Articles

While in the Theme
Editors are invited to create articles where they see fit. With your intended topic in mind, navigate to the KB page that you would like to nest your new article under. This begins the Parent-Child page relationship. A page that is nested under another is considered a "Child" page, while the page that holds the Child pages is considered the "Parent" page.
Log in to the KB.
Go to the section where you wish to add an article. Click the ellipsis and select Create new page in Confluence.
You will have a blank page for your article and can add and publish your content.
