## Confluence global navigation

ACNC is available from the side bar Apps menu. By default it selects every space you starred in Confluence but spaces can be added and removed using the intuitive UI.

<figure><img src="https://3127100801-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6Qd56HuOWbLLMlBK7tbG%2Fuploads%2FEE8hKsqvzKziywbB9eLD%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=405d6a03-fe36-42ac-ac25-2853583490e9" alt=""><figcaption><p>Space navigator</p></figcaption></figure>

When the expected spaces are added, you can

* Filter&#x20;
* Set statuses
* Detect updates
* Create, rename and preview pages

across multiple spaces.

## Space level navigation

ACNC is available in the sidebar. In this view, the top level is the Space itself.

<figure><img src="https://3127100801-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6Qd56HuOWbLLMlBK7tbG%2Fuploads%2F2784oNjihsIi75eo7pxH%2Fspace_app.png?alt=media&#x26;token=090f3c5f-7f2d-434c-81e5-b2ae91e80e3a" alt=""><figcaption><p>ACNC can be found on the sidebar</p></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="https://3127100801-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6Qd56HuOWbLLMlBK7tbG%2Fuploads%2FpMzqdjTxGOAHc5Z10zbB%2Fpage_board.png?alt=media&#x26;token=9298511c-17d6-4dd8-9d0f-efabde1acc94" alt=""><figcaption><p>Access the kanban view</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
In some rare cases multiple page can be found on the top level, like archived pages.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
This menu can be accessed by **ACNC** keyboard shortcut (just type acnc).
{% endhint %}

## While browsing a page

ACNC is a flexible tool to show and manage pages and also help navigating them. Some cases you need a consistent solution such a fixed macro, in some other cases you only need a quick help with navigation. ACNC can provide both.

### Quick Navigation

On every content page, we added a Navigate button which helps you to open **ACNC** with different starting locations:

* Current page
* Parent page
* Current Space's top level
* Custom selected location

<figure><img src="https://3127100801-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6Qd56HuOWbLLMlBK7tbG%2Fuploads%2F61gwbZfyVfASCMeYFWj3%2Fbyline.png?alt=media&#x26;token=43344fc2-78b0-4de7-ad44-d51f99c104d1" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Quick navigate</p></figcaption></figure>

### Macro

To insert a macro, edit the page and click on + sign on the top bar or enter / and type Advanced Content Navigator.

When a macro is inserted, a configuration window pops up.

While editing the macro, **parent page can be changed**. You always need to chose parent space then parent page to change a macro's root page eventually.

<figure><img src="https://3127100801-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6Qd56HuOWbLLMlBK7tbG%2Fuploads%2FtzDsumi8hE4vSpbmZKN7%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=e4721cd9-fc29-4b41-9905-d67c6928b456" alt=""><figcaption><p>Configure ACNC when inserted</p></figcaption></figure>

When a macro is inserted, by default, it shows data as the current page is the default root page, and the first level is opened.

<figure><img src="https://3127100801-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6Qd56HuOWbLLMlBK7tbG%2Fuploads%2F6mUSBS3wH89L3SBdmAfp%2FScreenshot%202025-08-21%20at%2015.53.55.png?alt=media&#x26;token=5bdb87ee-a329-46c0-ac46-6bfe95db622a" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Macro just inserted</p></figcaption></figure>

When parent page and title has updated, the macro can show data from different places!

<figure><img src="https://3127100801-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6Qd56HuOWbLLMlBK7tbG%2Fuploads%2FYlm63z17kqop1McCNWS2%2FScreenshot%202025-08-21%20at%2015.55.03.png?alt=media&#x26;token=47d5c7f2-79f4-4766-9b75-8162f659cb88" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Edit macro by clicking on the pencil</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="success" %}
With this option you can create a page with 2 macro inserted side by side, one prepared for developers and one for testers for example.
{% endhint %}

By selecting **Show macro roots** option, the selected parent page and its location is shown on the top of the macro. This is useful when having a macro on a page with a custom parent page.

### Actions

When you have ACNC opened, you can

* Expand all descendants - for quick overview
* Collapse all descendats - to reduce the clutter
* Create page under - to make it faster creating content
* Preview page - open any page preview by clicking on any row. Read more about [previewing here](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-MQWwyNQcMa-mipnVPpo/s/6Qd56HuOWbLLMlBK7tbG/~/changes/15/users-guide-cloud-version/using-acnc/space-page-features#preview-page).

### Refresh data

When you keep your page open in Confluence (with ACNC inserted), sometimes you need to refresh the page to load newly created pages and updates made by others. From now on, you can refresh the macro data only. This will save you time and prevent you from losing focus.

### Save this view

When a macro used, some pages or panels might often need be opened which wastes a lot of time. For this problem space administrators and page creator can save a default view for every visitor for that macro. When a view is saved, people visiting the page will see the saved view by default.

<figure><img src="https://3127100801-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6Qd56HuOWbLLMlBK7tbG%2Fuploads%2F1VTn5B6i3JdTSUoGVhmG%2Fsave_this_view.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f9846589-583c-4ec8-aeb8-10d0f1036c63" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Save macro view for every user</p></figcaption></figure>

### Content menu

When you want to open ACNC quickly on *any page*, you don't always need to edit the page and insert a macro, because you can reach it in the content menu as well.

Open the **apps menu** and select Advanced Content Navigator.

<figure><img src="https://3127100801-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F6Qd56HuOWbLLMlBK7tbG%2Fuploads%2FwbjqWYfDDGni1vQGdp4u%2Fapps_menu.png?alt=media&#x26;token=085c4f07-1f0a-4926-a841-4b892b70329e" alt="" width="188"><figcaption><p>Apps menu</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="success" %}
This function can be accessed by "**holding Shift**" + **ACNC** keyboard shortcut.
{% endhint %}

The popup window will show pages starting from the "current page".
