The Genomics England Collaboration Platform has been developed within the wiki-based Confluence environment. It has been designed to be as simple as possible with the hope that each domain and member can create, edit and maintain their own content. The analysis environment Research Environment is, by design, restrictive, and but we hope that the Collaboration Platform will allow you to work effectively within it.

basics
Organisation
The collaboration platform is divided into spaces. There is a space for the Office of the Chief Scientist (OCS), and then each GeCIP domain also has it's own space. Within the OCS space is where you'll find a lot of information on the 100,000 Genomes Project and other reference material. Each domain's space will contain a variety of information on their activities for both members and non-members
...
Just like any other website there are only parts of the collaboration platform that you're allowed to edit and view. What you're able to edit and view is determined by what GeCIP domains you are a member of and what role you play within that domain. Exactly how you see the page, and what you're able to do on the page will depend on both of these.

Using macros helps you to expand the capabilities of your page, allowing you to add extra functionality or include dynamic content. For example, use the Table of Contents macro to insert a listing of the headings in the page like the table shown at the page (top of this page; please note, this will only work if you've used the heading paragraph styles above) like the table shown at the top of this pagelisted above. Or if you'd like to specifically mention someone in a page you can type '@' and then start typing their name to invoke the User user mention macro.
