Hi,

I want to add some custom content from my atlassian-connect add-on. I could just create some page containing an AUI form, but in the add-on descriptor there is a field `module.customContent.customContent.uiSupport.editComponent` which I would like to use, so the creation/edit of that custom content is more integrated into Confluence Cloud. For that field the documentation says

> Defines a module for adding or editing custom content.  
> …  
> Confluence will provide the breadcrumbs, title input, submit and cancel button on the edit component. Add-on needs to supply the editor area like the screenshot shown below in a general page module.  
> …

So I configured a general page and created an endpoint which returns some HTML containing form fields.  
Now in Confluence Cloud how is the redirection to that edit/create page for my custom content triggered? I can’t find any location in the UI or any JS function with that purpose, also the documentation does not say anything about that.

Did you find a solution for this?  
I followed [this document](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/lesson-1-a-new-content-type/) but when trying to run `npm start` I get an error

```auto

```

Any idea?

Hi,

I have solved my issue by manually redirecting to  
`{baseUrl}/display/{spaceKey}/customcontent/create/{contentType}`

Hopefully this helps you solving your issue too.

Cheers
