💡 Label tips

Labels in Confluence Cloud are case-sensitive. "Design" and "design" are treated as different labels.

Use the Space filter in Add Filter to search across multiple spaces simultaneously.

Combine Labels to include and Labels to exclude to show all documentation pages but hide drafts.

4.2 Display, Layout & Advanced Tabs

These tabs are identical to Content by Author. Refer to sections 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4.

4.3 Use Cases

  • Related documentation - embed on any page to show all pages sharing the same label.

  • Draft exclusion - include all pages tagged "api-docs" but exclude any tagged "draft".
