Hi @Inas Ait-Salah 

Confluence is a team workspace where knowledge and collaboration meet. Dynamic pages give your team a place to create, capture, and collaborate on any project or idea.

Below are some links which will help you to learn more about Confluence :

@Inas Ait-Salah 

Historically, Confluence has been widely used by software teams to assemble ideas, product requirements and documentation to build better products. It has a long history as an enterprise wiki / content collaboration tool in this way.
Good examples of this in Confluence: structuring product requirements, sprint planning meetings and retrospectives using pre-built or customized page templates.

Some examples in product: lots of formatting options and the ability to include rich content (images, videos, code, Word docs, etc.) for crafting 'single source of truth' project proposals, timelines, meeting notes and status reports.

More and more IT teams are adopting Confluence too - to centralize technical documentation, policy procedure and knowledge base articles to better support and service internal 'customers'. Prime example: building a self-service, searchable knowledge base of Confluence articles authored by various team members and integrating that with incident management or IT service desk tools.

Hi @Inas Ait-Salah  Confluence is a collaboration and document management tool used by organizations to create, share, and organize information. Common use cases include knowledge management, project management, team collaboration, creating an internal company intranet, managing customer support tickets, and acting as a wiki for teams to create and edit articles.
