- [Instructor] Ideally, you'll have some end user experience creating Confluence pages, editing pages, and using macros. It's also helpful to have application admin or system admin experience with other software, but it's certainly possible that you don't have this experience and that's okay. This course will teach you the basics so you can get started quickly. All you need right now is admin access to a Confluence application. It's also helpful to have a test environment, but if you don't, we'll set one up as part of the course. A test environment is the safest way to experiment and explore features without impacting real production data. Your organization might already have a sandbox environment that you can use. If you have Confluence Cloud Premium or Enterprise, sandbox functionality is already built in. If there's no existing test environment, sign up for your own free version of Confluence Cloud. When you're done with this course, you can keep the free version for future testing or for personal projects, like remodeling the kitchen or recording family milestones. It's really hard to keep up with software changes, especially with cloud software. New features are added, moved, or changed all the time. Existing features or even entire products are renamed, and links that worked yesterday are broken today. That's why I've set up a special place on my website where you can get the latest Confluence information. When something impactful and this course changes, I'll post that information at the URL shown. Now's a good time to bookmark that location. Go ahead. I'll wait. Oh, and one last thing. For some of you, I speak too slowly, and for others, I speak too fast. Luckily, the LinkedIn video player has some useful features to help you move at your own pace. On the bottom left, use the skip back icon to rewind 10 seconds and hear that information again. On the bottom right, use the 1x icon to increase or decrease the speed. Also consider using the captions feature if that's helpful. Finally, I also recommend opening your Confluence test application in a separate browser window so you can follow along with me. Just pause the video, explore the same area in your application, and come on back.
