Is Confluence public? If yes, how do I keep non-public information private?
By default, most Spaces on our PUL Confluence are restricted to PUL staff members. Authors can choose at the page or site space level to set permissions with fine granularity. Pages on Confluence can be set to be visible to the world, only to PUL staff, only within a department, or shared with manual permissions similar to Google Docs.
How does Confluence fit into information available on our main public website(s), LibGuides, Connecting, and Google drives?

How do I get a Confluence account and login?
