Finding your way around Settings
Everything an admin can configure lives under Settings (the gear at the
bottom of the sidebar, /admin, or g , from the
keyboard). This page explains the shape of the
console; each section has its own page in this documentation.
Grouped sections
Section titled “Grouped sections”The settings rail is grouped by what you’re trying to do rather than one long alphabetical list:
| Group | Sections |
|---|---|
| Platform | System · Workspace · Domain & HTTPS · License |
| Content | Spaces · Templates · Public site · Links · Newsletter · Content health · Import & export |
| People & access | Users & roles · Groups · Section access · Single sign-on · Directory |
| AI | AI — Claude API, Ask, proofreading, semantic search |
| Operations | Notifications · Backups · Audit log |
You never have to remember which group something is in. The search box at the top of the rail filters every section as you type — by name and by keyword, so “certificate” finds Domain & HTTPS, “confluence” finds Import & export, and “embeddings” finds AI.
Each section carries an icon, its name, and a one-line description of what it covers. Those come from a single registry shared by the rail and the page header, so the navigation and the page you land on can never disagree about what a section is called.
Saving
Section titled “Saving”Saving anything in settings confirms with a toast in the corner of the screen — green on success, red with the server’s actual explanation when something fails. That includes actions that used to complete silently, like adding a webhook, saving a document template, or switching the approval workflow.
Information that needs to stay on screen isn’t a toast: license expiry, TLS certificate state, and import summaries remain inline where you can re-read them.
Danger zones
Section titled “Danger zones”Destructive actions are separated into a red-bordered Danger zone card at the bottom of the page, away from the settings you change every day — starting with removing an enterprise license.
Page width
Section titled “Page width”Settings pages honor the Normal / Wide / Full page-width preference from your account, the same as every other page in the app. Set it once under Manage account → Preferences and table-heavy pages like Users, Audit log, and Content health get the room they need on a wide monitor.
Delegating without making someone an admin
Section titled “Delegating without making someone an admin”Not everything under Settings requires the Admin role. People & access → Section access hands Announcements, Compliance, and Training to specific people or groups, so the person who runs onboarding can manage training decks without also being able to change your SSO configuration.
