UPDATE 9/18/24: FOLDERS IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING ROLLED OUT TO EVERYONE! See here for the latest.
👋 Hi Confluence Community,
We’re super excited to announce that we’ve started our beta rollout for one of the top-requested features in Confluence, 🗂️ Folders!
We're starting with a limited release to a set of customers in order to get feedback on key user journeys and iron out any wrinkles.
Here's a quick demo of how folders will work:
Yes! Folders are purely additive — nothing will change about your ability to create parent pages.
A folder is a simpler kind of container — it’s just a place to store your content. In contrast, a parent page is a container with a “Read Me” built into the container itself. Use a parent page when you want to provide additional information or context on what’s inside the container. Use a folder when you simply want to group similar content.
Using a folder likely makes more sense than a parent page when you need a simple container to organize related content. In other words, if you would have created a blank parent page or a parent page with only the Child Pages macro, then a folder likely makes more sense.
Based on customer feedback over time, parent pages seem most useful in traditional knowledge base / wiki spaces, whereas folders seem more useful in project, team, collaborative, or hybrid use-cases.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
Ned, on behalf of the Confluence team
