  • How to open a Chrome bookmark with a keyboard shortcut

Features I should look into using more

• Blueprints
• Page layout - I should think about how the different layouts might be useful. I suppose the three-column layout could be helpful for kanban...
• Tables
• Task lists - I could see myself using this for Rhymecraft, WhatDo, and any other project I want to keep on top of.
• Emoticons - There are actually some useful emoticons in there: a green check-mark, a red square with an 'X' in it, a blue circle with a question mark in it, a hazard sign, and different-colored stars.
• There's a converter for Markdown that'll paste in the converted HTML.
• Horizontal rules.
• You can have a Trello board on a page by providing the URL.

Macros:

Administration

• Why don't I see anything in this category?

Communication

• I only see the "IM Presence", which I suppose could be helpful for pages where you collaborate with a particular group of people.

Confluence content

• Create from template
• Excerpt Include
• Include Page: Includes the contents of a page within another. <-- I could see this being very helpful for keeping stuff organized...
• Status - Communicate the status of a project, task or milestone with visual indicators.
• Task report - Create a report of tasks from specific locations, people, status and more.

Development

• The most-interesting one I see is the Jira macro for listing relevant Jira tickets, but I'm not really using Jira right now.

External content

• Activity Stream - This might be helpful for making it clear to visitors that this wiki is being actively worked on.
• TODO: Keep going through this.

Formatting

• Highlight
• Iframe
• Info
• Note
• Panel
• Tip
• Warning

Media

• Didn't see anything particularly interesting.

Navigation

• You can create an anchor.
• Page tree search
• Page index
• Navigation map
• Search results

Reporting:

• The Page Properties / Page Properties Report macros. I could see that being used to aggregate information on many different pages that track my progress on various dimensions, so I can have a dashboard-style page where I can see everything at once.

Visuals and images
