Build your Wiki with Ease

Confluence is a collaborative website, known as a wiki. Confluence uses a WYSIWYG interface (what you see is what you get) to make it easy to create, edit, link to, and share web pages. Confluence is a free service for Cornell-related work, projects, and research. New sites, called spaces, are available upon request.

On This Page

Confluence is useful for:

  • Collaboratively authoring or editing documents
  • Making information easily accessible on the web
  • Managing revisions
  • Controlling who has access to your information
  • Working on projects with geographically diverse groups
Confluence limits file sizes to a maximum of 15MB. We recommend using Box to store your files. Create links on your Confluence pages to your files stored on Box.

Using Confluence

Anyone with a Cornell NetID or WCMC ID can use Confluence. See Gaining Access with a Cornell Net ID or WCMC ID. If you use WebDAV or Office Connector tools, a Confluence-generated password will be required to log in. 

Individuals without a Cornell NetID or WCMC ID must be sponsored by a current faculty, staff, or student for the purpose of Cornell related work, projects, or research. Non-Cornellians log in using a confluence user id (email address) and confluence password. See How to Retrieve my Confluence Password.

Before using Confluence to share, store, or collaborate with institutional information, please review the Regulated Data Chart and Confluence Terms and Conditions.
