Did the Blog Editor update?

Question

I've been using my personal space blog feature to document my workday in a rather technical way (Including the layout feature to create columned sections), and have been doing this since April 2nd, 2018. It's been a huge asset for everything from documenting a time sheet to maintaining a to-do list.

However on June 20th, 2018, I came into work to find that the Blog editor had changed. the old one still works on old posts, but any new posts I make are with this new simplified editor. It looks like it was designed for mobile devices.

I don't mind interface changes like this, but now there's a bunch of missing features that have come to be crucial to my usage.

I don't know if this is a glitch, or the new editor going forward; which I'm certainly hoping not.

Ah, I was trying to look around for some mention of this, I just didn't go back far enough I guess.

I suppose that I don't like the current iteration, but here's to hoping that it returns to exceeding my expectations again.

Thank you for the response!

Hi Luke,

I'm a product manager with Confluence Cloud. Thanks for posting this!

These are new changes we're gradually rolling out to the new editing experience.

Here is a link to the community post I shared about the new changes coming to Blogs ,specifically, about a month ago.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Thanks,

Avinoam
