# Getting Started

Learn how to get started with Confluence.

Nightfall DLP for Confluence offers a cloud-native data leak protection solution that monitors and protects any sensitive data from leaking.

Nightfall can scan all Confluence assets (attachments, comments, spaces, blogs, and pages). Scans will include archived items, but not deleted items. Only fields of type free-text fields are scanned.

Go through the following steps before you can configure policies on your implementation of Nightfall DLP for Confluence.

* [Installing](/confluence/installation.md)
* [Configuring Policies](https://help.nightfall.ai/nightfall-ai/nightfall-for-confluence/configuring-policies)

## Confluence Page Restrictions

Nightfall throws an error while scanning certain pages/spaces in your Confluence instance. This issue is related to certain custom page permission restrictions for those specific Confluence pages. With base page restrictions set, the Nightfall app is unable to view edits on these page.

When **Page restrictions** are set on a page/space, our app is no longer able to see it, so when scanning is attempted on items from that page, our API requests fail. For a short term solution, you can add our app 'Nightfall DLP for Confluence' to have 'View' access on the page.\
\
**Note**: We are currently working on a longer term solution for this issue, and are in discussion with Atlassian directly

If you are not seeing these pages being scanned and want to check if this restriction is in place, this can be checked as seen below:

If you have any questions about these restrictions, or are unsure how to workaround, please file a support ticket with us, or you can reach out to <support@nightfall.ai>.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.nightfall.ai/confluence/getting_started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
