The command palette
The palette is the fastest way around the product once you know what you are looking for. It searches capabilities, macros, your assets and templates, and our help centre from one box.
It exists only in the suite. There is no hotkey and no menu item for it in a standalone app.
#Opening it
Press Command K, or Control K on Windows.
Or use the Capable menu item.
#What it searches
Group | What you get |
|---|---|
Capabilities | Jump straight to a capability |
Macros | Find a macro by name |
Assets | Diagrams, images and templates from the shared library |
Templates and examples | Your own diagram and Markdown templates, and the built-in ones |
Help articles | Our help centre, without leaving Confluence |
Help search deliberately hides some results. Anything about installing or uninstalling, and anything Jira-related, is filtered out, so a search for "install" returns less than you expect. Use the documentation directly for those.
#The palette and the byline
The search box in the Capable byline uses the same template search as the palette. The difference is what you do with a result: the palette takes you to it, and the byline opens the editor ready to insert it into the page you are on. The byline also lists diagram libraries, such as Mermaid and PlantUML, which the palette does not.
#A few things that catch people out
Suite only. Nothing is mounted for it in standalone apps.
It is the quickest route to an asset when you cannot remember which capability owns it.
The palette searches names and descriptions rather than page content. For content, use Capable Search.
A capability hidden by an administrator is left out of the palette, results included.
