What's new this quarter in Confluence Server - June 2018

[#1]

Hello Atlassian Community!

My name is Ada, and I'm the Product Marketing Manager for Confluence Server at Atlassian. If you missed our last post, we're transitioning to quarterly updates so you can review all product updates in one, summarized digest. Here's June's update:

 

Here's what's new in Confluence:

We launched our new mobile apps for Android and iOS! In Confluence 6.8, we also improved the way request access works under the hood. Instead of asking just one person to grant access, we now email up to 5 people at once.

In Confluence 6.9, we've given you more control over your editing experience. A new menu in the editor gives you the option to preview the page, view all changes since the page was last published, revert to the last published version, or delete the page.

Last but not least, CalDAV support is now available in Team Calendars 6.0! Team Calendars is an Atlassian Marketplace app that brings schedules and work together so teams know who's doing what and when. CalDAV support enables two-way syncing between Team Calendars and your calendar app. Now you’ll be able to update Team Calendars events from Outlook, Google Calendar (Android), or Apple Calendar. 

Don't let bugs get in the way of your team's work 

We fixed 40 bugs in recent versions - check out the full list here.

Operating at the enterprise level?

Enterprise releases are designed specifically for larger, more complex instances – ones that require significant planning and effort to upgrade. These versions are vetted for enterprise scalability and will have critical bugfixes backported regularly, so you can upgrade with confidence.

We want to hear from you!

Two-way sync for Team Calendars? Wow! Finally.

Is there a demo on how to use it somewhere?

Hey! I‘m wondering why the mobile app is not compatible with the enterprise release 6.6 ... any plans on release plan for enterprise also covering mobile ? 

[Ada Chen]

Hi @Dennis - Enterprise Releases are for large, complex instances that require more time to plan between upgrades. When our last Enterprise Release was released, the Confluence mobile apps were still in beta. Feature releases are progressive so mobile will be available in the next Enterprise Release.
