Content access requests now live in Share

[#1]

Hi Confluence Community,

I’m excited to announce a major upgrade to how you manage content access requests: Content access requests now live in an item’s Share dialog!

We’ve heard your feedback — reviewing and approving access requests via scattered notifications and emails was slowing you down and sometimes blocking collaboration.

With this release, we’re centralizing all your content access requests in one place, right inside the Share dialog. Now, content owners and editors can easily review, approve, or deny requests — no more hunting through notifications or missing urgent asks.

What’s new

A dedicated “Requests” tab in the Share dialog

Instantly see all pending requests for your content. Grant view or edit access, deny when necessary, and easily scroll to see all requests.

As you action requests, the people you grant access to get added to the specific access list. If there are no pending access requests, the tab will disappear to keep your sharing experience uncluttered.

More than just the owner can action requests

Anyone who can change access to the content item can step in to approve requests, keeping work moving.

Say goodbye to duplicate requests and scattered side-channel chats asking for access. With all access requests now centralized and visible in one place, your team can quickly review and take action.

Learn more about how content access requests work.

What’s next

We’re not stopping here! We’ll soon bring even more power to access requests, like “approve all” for bulk requests and deeper integrations with notifications.

As always, your feedback will help us shape what comes next.

Happy collaborating,

Marie & the Confluence Permissions team
