Switch to Documentation Theme

Before the August 19th upgrade, Space Admins are strongly encouraged
to familiarize themselves with the Documentation theme (and other
3.3 themes) before selecting and applying a new theme.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

The Easy Reader Theme is a fixed-width variation of the Default (now called Global Look and Feel) theme. Its larger fonts, smooth gradient background and comfortable line length make it ideal for displaying and reading longer documents. If the browser window is expanded larger than the fixed width, the pages in the space will be centered in the view.  Easy Reader is the vendor-recommended replacement for the Clickr Theme. See http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/OB26D

The Documentation Theme adds a re-sizable pane to the left side of each page in the space. Usually featuring the page tree macro, the pane can also display customized content (like a search box), usually with the intent to make it easy to navigate through the Confluence space. It also provides an easy method to attach a header and/or footer to each page in the space, making it easy to post important messages to viewers. The Documentation theme is the vendor-suggested replacement for the Left Nav Theme. [https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/x/HgAz]

Note:

While the Documentation theme is the vendor-recommended replacement, it is not an exact replacement. In fact, options for customizing your left-hand-side navigation bar is severely limited with the new theme.  If you have a significant amount of customization in your existing space, we encourage you to review the vendor documentation http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/kQq6D in order to make an informed decision about your space theme. You can change your theme at any time.
