One of the perceived omissions on Atlassian’s Confluence Cloud is … ability to index a site manually. There is some progress fueled by popular demand, however…. it drags You can, of course, contact Atlassian Support and they gladly oblige. I did so many times using the live chat with a live agent and it didn't take long.…

Say that you’re a global company and have a bunch of universal global policies documented in Confluence. Those policies are then implemented specifically per country - those regional specifics should be documented too. Or... you are a company with multiple products; you have a universal design language documented in…

A quick one on the topic of adding and viewing page labels in the new Confluence UI. Questions were asked, users got confused. Previously * Regular pages In the View more, hit L on the keyboard for pages * Home/Root pages of a space Use the ... menu in the edit mode for home pages. Now Use the keyboard shortcut…

Here's a quick tip how to put Confluence Database to use - the tool is still in beta, many Confluence users don't know how it can be actually useful. So perhaps this will help. Anyway... :) My use-case - an LCM database for docs space I use it to get a quick overview of Confluence space where we author and manage Emplifi…

I once worked for a company that released a new product every day - around 8pm. A few hotfixes followed before midnight. Most work started that same morning, and it wasn’t unusual to change the scope mid-day. But one rule was sacred: the release must happen. No delays. No exceptions. And we never failed. It was extreme…

Live docs are good but there’s a missed opportunity to make them much more useful. That opportunity is hanging in there to be grabbed. I can imagine a scenario where live docs functions as a ‘working’ environment for the underlying page. Let me explain. Assume that you have an HR page that lists employee benefits. You need…

In this article, I’m going to share how I use Confluence to tackle documentation for a product that needs both semantic versioning and continuous delivery. And, in the process, dispel the myth that ‘Confluence does not support semantic versioning’. Nevermind the GitOps, Here’s Confluence Obligatory warning: This is an…

Using a two-space setup for your Confluence content offers surprising benefits; simplifies permissions and access management doubles as workflow control enhances your content and life-cycle management options allows you to make multiple apps from multiple vendors work together A two-space setup is especially useful for…

So let's have a pillow fight on a global scale! 🙂 This community is a perfect theater for this! I was born in continental Europe and learned to drive on the right side of the road. But my first car was this.... a 1998 Mazda 626 with 100,666 miles on the clock that I bought in London, UK. Look where the steering wheel is 🙂…

The concept of conditional content (content variants) is as misunderstood and as criminally underused by content managers and tech writers. And often absent from CMS tools. Spoiler alert, you can get in on Confluence ;) So let’s take a closer look at conditional content - what it is, how you can benefit, and why you should…

Yes! You can built a full-fledged, end-to-end, scalable product documentation and management solution using Confluence and a couple of apps. In 30 minutes. Note: In this article, I only plan to provide the outline of the setup. Time permitting, I’ll deep-dive into the specifics in subsequent articles. Target features…

Workflows in Confluence is a) subject to many a question here, b) a pet peeve of mine, so when @Ralf Schmelter asked his question I quickly jotted down the options. Turns out, Ralf meant smth else but hey, I've got a post written :) Anyway, let's take a quick look at workflow options in Confluence. For the purpose of this…

The public links WILL work in anonymous spaces... providing the page does not contain elements from other spaces/pages that are not publicly accessible. In my case outlined below, my page features an element synced from another space which is not public. To be more specific, a text background color created in Karma. So…

Yes, I know, using the iframe macro is not a rocket science but does your presentation look like this? Or like this? So here’s how you make your slides * presentable * internal to your company - protected from the prying eyes of the public internet access * Bonus: compatible with Scroll Viewport 🙂 even behind SSO ;) Steps:…

This is what I learned so far when using Live Edits with some marketplace apps. BTW, the header section is a mix of Editing and Viewing modes. Enabling Live Edits Space setting for Live Edits applies to NEW pages only. Live Edits can be enabled for individual pages in any space. To me, that’s an oversight on Atlassian…
