With the changes to terminology in Jira from "Projects" to "Spaces", will there be any chances to terminology for Confluence "Spaces"?

Hi @Nikkita Willis , indeed it is confusing to me and I would contend to so many others as well. I hate the terminology change. I recommend providing feedback to Atlassian using the in app feedback link under the "?" Icon.

Hi @Nikkita Willis -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I recommend reading all of the comments to those earlier announcement articles as customers note the many possible side-effects and potential problems that will likely happen because of this change. 

Specifically, I hypothesize we have not seen the end of the changes for this terminology  item and I expect some upcoming outages as a result of change management problems.

 

Kind regards,
Bill

Hello @Nikkita Willis

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The terminology change is only for Jira projects and the Confluence spaces would remain the same.

You can read more about it here:

I hope that helps!

Thank you
