Reason: Lack of a standardized template or organizational system leads to pages with varying layouts, making navigation and information retrieval difficult.
Solution: Implement a consistent page template with clear sections and headings for all new pages.
2. Poorly Defined Page Hierarchy
Reason: Creating pages without considering their relationship to other pages results in a disorganized and difficult-to-navigate space.
Solution: Plan a clear page hierarchy before creating pages, using Confluence's space and parent/child page structure effectively.
