@danny Leiva Welcome to Confluence Cloud. There is currently an issue and associated alert regarding access for new users that Atlassian is working on. Details of the incident are at the link below. I recommend you subscribe to the Statuspage for updates regarding Confluence Cloud for any future events that may affect your…

@Bibhudatta Sahu Welcome to Confluence! There are a number of resources that you can tap into to help you on your journey of creating a Confluence documentation space. Atlassian University is a great place to start. The lessons are hands on and very instructional. There is also a course specific to Documentation Spaces!…

Happy Birthday @Kristján Geir Mathiesen! I was born on April 15. Easy to remember in the United States as it is Tax Day. Not exactly the emotion I want people to equate with my birthday, but makes it a memorable date nonetheless.

@Justus Mueller thanks for that throw back post! Someone sent it to me a few years back on May 4 and it created a playlist of Bad Lip Sync videos on my YouTube stream that made me laugh so hard I had to pull my car over to the side of the road!

It was! Part of my day did feel like this: But in the end I did finish my own Original Trilogy listening marathon and felt a little more like this: Today is a new day!

My earliest memory is going to Empire Strikes back with my parents and older brother in 1981 during it's re-release.

I think this one is pretty self-explanatory for anyone that knows me. I probably should take PTO today. Years ago at a previous company I hosted and all day viewing party on the 55 inch screen in my office of the original canon of Episodes IV-VI with fresh popcorn and cold soda all throughout the day. It was a blast. We…

Thanks @Nikki Zavadska _Appfire_. I always find an update here that I was not aware of before and add it to my reading list for the week. Great way to start a Monday!

I'm going to take the approach of this being true, not aspirational. What I would like to be known for aspirationally would take too much thought and text. Based on current state, I would be famous for having the most perfect and kick@$$ Excel Spreadsheet formatting anyone that ever has received an Excel from me has ever…

My wife and I are avid outdoor hikers. We have tried so hard to get our kids to love it too. Although they always complain when we tell them we are going on a hike "I don't want anymore hikes or waterfalls, can we just stay home/at the hotel" - most of the time we get them to come. And those hikes are the best times for…

Hit my inbox and my YouTube alerts almost in lockstep. Already watched the vLog post, now here to like the Blog post!

@Fun Man Andy I hope you bring us along for the charity rides and give the community a chance to participate like @Jimmy Seddon has with his Extra Life charity streams!

@Laura Holton _ACE Manchester_ goes quiet post Team '22 and BOOM emerges with a jam packed post of goodies! Thanks for sharing!

@Jena Slezak thank you! Adoption has been so wide in our organization, almost every team uses Confluence extensively. The most active teams are our Development Team, Product Team, ISV Sales Team, Customer Service Team and Applications & Underwriting Team. I also need to shout out our Technical Support Team for a recent…

@Jimmy Seddon my wife and I usually take our family one week every summer to some destination in the mountains of northern New England. We love New Hampshire and Vermont, the outdoors, the lack of smog, crisp mornings and great hiking and biking! But this summer our oldest will be spending the semester abroad in Israel and…

Sorry, but running out of high five GIFs that I like, so...

@Nikki Zavadska _Appfire_ I made this my Tuesday morning coffee due to being OOO yesterday. It was just as energizing as always, even a day late. Thanks for the summary!

My previous company became Confluence Server customer in 2011 when we migrated from our internal Linux based Wiki server to Confluence. The Wiki project produced some great content and began the process of centralizing our knowledge, but ultimately failed due to lack of contribution across the organization. The only way to…

Although I don't manage my life in Jira, I always have a healthy backlog of items waiting for time to be brought forward. After cursing under my breath about yet another meeting being cancelled too close to last minute, I would try to quickly pivot and pull something from the backlog that requires quiet time to dedicate…

Wait a week and change and you'll have content to plagerize.

@Meg Bailey that's a great recipe for success. I am actually applying it to my Persona Space today. I'll track the results and update this post when I have them. * If it's low impact and beyond my current bandwidth ➡️ archive/delete (5) * If it's low impact but within my current bandwidth ➡️ consider why I haven't taken…

@Akshith Kumar I apologize. I see now that you have tagged this post with Confluence Server, and my instructions were for Confluence Cloud. This template is NOT available for Server, but you can create a template based on the Cloud specifications. https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-templates-296093785.html Sorry for…

Templates can be enabled or disabled on a Global or Space Level. Global: Access Settings -> Global Templates and Blueprints Space: Space Settings -> Look and Feel -> Templates If a template is not enabled on a Global level, you will not be able to access it on a Space level. You will need your admin to enable it if it is…

@Akshith Kumar are you looking for guidance on how to best use this template, or how to access? If you are looking for access, when you create a new page you should see the templates panel appear along the right margin which will allow you to select the Weekly Meeting Notes Template to apply to the new page. 

@Christine P. Dela Rosa with the initals it's more about not making the reader have to guess or ask who they are referring to. A comment in a case that reads "Please discuss with AG and advise whether this requires escalation" requires the recipient to know which AG to discuss with and may be a source of confusion or…

OK. Guilty as charged for not keeping my personal Confluence space as tidy as it should be. I hold on to some of my drafts and babies too long, and should make better use of the archive and delete functions. I have a hard time judging when the useful life of one of my pages has expired. However, organizationally the Space…

In our organization there are some legacy terms, acronyms and initials that are used by some of the more tenured staff that are not known to newer employees. In cases where the term may be an industry related term or acronym, we have built a dictionary page in Confluence so that everyone can look up the terms and…
