It has only been 1,5 months and Atlassian already released their next major version of Confluence. Confluence 5.1 is centered around page templates, which are known as ‘blueprints’ inside the application.
Blueprints
In previous versions of Confluence there were two types of content; pages and blogposts. When you created a new page or blogpost you started out with a blank page. With blueprints you don’t start with a blank page anymore. Instead you pick a type of page you want to create and you get a template for you page for free! Some blueprints even have a wizard where you have to fill in some information which will be used in the blueprint itself. You can of course still start with a blank page if you want.
