Is the page still the right unit of knowledge in Confluence?
For years, Confluence was relatively easy to understand conceptually. You had a space, inside that space you had pages, and pages were essentially the unit of knowledge. The page tree gave information a place and, even when it became messy, the mental model remained fairly clear. That model is starting to change.…

Your next audit is coming. Is your Confluence documentation ready?
Hi everyone! I'm Clara from Simpleasyty, where we build tools to help teams get more out of Confluence. Today, I'd like to share two practical examples of how structured metadata can make compliance documentation easier to manage. No lengthy compliance theory. Just two common problems, two small Confluence demos, and a few…

Confluence was born before YouTube: A 23-Year Journey from Wikis to the Cloud 🚀
Here's a fun fact to start your Friday: Confluence is older than YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and the iPhone. When Confluence first appeared in 2003, the internet was a very different place. There was no Slack. No Microsoft Teams. No ChatGPT. And most companies still relied heavily on email attachments, shared folders, and…

What makes Rovo more useful in Confluence isn’t more AI. It’s better structure
Over the last weeks, I’ve been thinking less about what AI can do inside Confluence and more about a simpler question: What kind of content gives Rovo the best chance to be genuinely useful? My current answer is: clear, structured content. Not more buttons. Not more prompts. Not more hype. Just better structure. When…

From readable to operational: the 4 levels of working with data in Confluence
Not every team needs an app for tables in Confluence. In many cases, native Confluence tables are enough. They are simple, familiar, and great for sharing information on a page. Atlassian also supports turning table data into charts, and Confluence databases add a more structured way to manage fields, views, filters, and…

Calculated Columns in Simple Tables: Turning Confluence Data Into Operational Signals
Every enterprise team has data in Confluence. Project updates, operational trackers, financial reviews, SLA follow-up, procurement requests, and delivery status all tend to end up there. But in many organizations, the same pattern still repeats itself: the data is documented in Confluence, then exported to a spreadsheet so…

Why Rovo feels like a meaningful shift in how teams work with knowledge in Atlassian
Every so often, a platform capability appears that feels bigger than the feature itself. For me, Rovo is one of those moments in Atlassian. Not because AI is new. It isn’t. But because this feels like a more practical direction: bringing search, chat, and agents closer to the place where teams already work, instead of…

Hello Atlassian Community — I’m Clara Vega 👋
Hi everyone 👋 I’m Clara Vega. I’ve spent 20+ years in IT and 10+ years in the Atlassian ecosystem—mostly behind the scenes: working with customers, untangling real-life workflows, and finding practical ways to solve everyday problems using Atlassian + Marketplace apps. Recently, I made a big move: I joined the vendor side…

Can you reorder columns in Confluence Cloud Page Properties Report?
Hi everyone, In Confluence Cloud, we’re using the Page Properties macro on multiple pages and aggregating them with Page Properties Report. We’ve run into a limitation around column ordering: the Page Properties Report seems to display columns based on the order (or appearance) of keys in the source Page Properties tables,…
