Summary
The customization described on this page is outside the scope of Atlassian support. Please check
for more information.
This page gets you started on customising the Confluence sign up page with your own logo or custom text. This will not customize the actual sign up process, but what users see on the sign-up page.
Notes:
Customizations to the Confluence sign up page will need to be reapplied when you upgrade Confluence. Consider this before making drastic changes to the layout, and be sure to keep a list of what you change in case you upgrade later.
Be sure to test your changes on a test instance of Confluence before applying them to production.
