Company Hub Navigation Changes Coming Soon

MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO SET THE HUB AS THE CONFLUENCE LANDING PAGE!

That is surely the whole purpose of a Hub, nobody wants to switch to it from some other landing page, and with exclusive elements, that is not an option anyway (links menu, etc.)

Hello @Morgan Wang 

I just updated my HUB page in Confluence and used the TOC macro. The macro has the correct headings listed (I'm using Header 2); but when I click TOC links, they do NOT go to the associated section on the HUB page.

Is this intentional? If so, why and is there a work-around?

[Morgan Wang]

@Apryl Harris this sounds like a bug. Would you be able to file a support ticket?

Thanks!

The TOC macro (i.e. anchor links) not working on HUB page is a known issue - [CONFCLOUD-81915] Anchor links macro doesn't work on Company Hub page. - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

Can you please investigate and see when this will be fixed? This is critical to a successful adoption of the HUB page. No one wants to have to scroll through the page to find the headers.

@Morgan Wang Making this as landing page require a decision and small effort. You already see that a lot of customers want it. Why you don't bring this possibility again as we had it before?

@Hanna Torany Thanks for your message! I've relayed your feedback to @John Hooperthe new Product Manager on this feature.

Hi everyone - Providing an update here on the ask to make it possible to set Company Hub as the landing page for Confluence.

We totally understand and agree with the rationales shared in the comments. However, we are making architectural changes to Company Hub that will include disassociating it from Confluence. Because Company Hub is moving out of Confluence, it will no longer be able to be the landing page of Confluence, unfortunately.

Once this change is complete, however, Company Hub will be able to be set as the landing page for Atlassian Home.

Thank you for your feedback here, and please let us know if you have any other questions about this!

Hi @John Hooper , thank you for your reply and a bit more clarity. It's still all too vague in my opinion however. It's just all a bit silly.
The company hub has been made to be the perfect 'stepping stone' for all Atlassian needs. Be it Atlassian, Confluence, Jira, etc. It's dynamic pages, information, capability to present links and information, it's pretty neat hence why its perfect as a landing page for all employees to catch up on the latest as their first contact before they enter any other site.

When I ask my coworkers to browse to "ourcompany.atlassian.net", they now first enter a landing page that tells them to "click this link to visit the company hub" and from the company hub they are then able to enter in to confluence via the various links we provided. It feels a bit... odd and unecessary. I can not redirect them through voice to "ourcompany.atlassian.net/wiki/company-hub", people will just make mistakes trying to type it in.
But hopefully the changes you and your team are making will be great and will instantly show the reasoning behind the former changes and decisions.

@John Hooper Are there any plans for a "Confluence Home" that would perform the same function, but isn't the Company Hub?

[John Hooper]

Hi @erica_bogosian - not currently, but we're aware that this is a clear want, so it's something we'll certainly take into consideration.
