Hello Databases Community! 👋
As we kick-off 2025, I’m thrilled to share a recap of all the fantastic features we’ve rolled out for Confluence databases since our GA in August of 2024. Here’s a look back at what’s been released and a sneak peek at what’s coming next!
We introduced database templates to help you get started quickly and maintain consistency across your projects. These templates are designed to streamline your workflow and ensure that your data is organized effectively.
With quick calculations, you can perform basic arithmetic operations directly within your databases, saving you time and reducing the need for external tools. Read more.
Creating pages from database entries is now easier than ever. You’re able to create pages from a database cell and that new page automatically includes an embedded view of that database entry. Read more.
To enhance data organization, we’ve added the ability to number rows within your databases, making it easier to reference and manage your entries.
We’ve improved how you can interact with database cells like double-clicking/type to edit as well as the ability to paste directly from your clipboard to a selected cell.
In addition to all the cool new visual features, we also been hard at work under the hood to improve performance with a significant reduction in the time it takes to initially load a database.
While 2024 was a great year for Confluence databases, the team is already hard at work on some exciting new capabilities for 2025. Here’s a sneak peek:
Mentions with notifications
Database version history
Comments on database entries
Improved import from CSV files
Our longer term roadmap for Confluence databases wouldn’t be possible without the incredible feedback from our community. Thank you for your ongoing interest and feedback. Here are some of our focus areas on the horizon:
Improved database setup panel
Better keyboard navigation
Table to database conversion
Rich text and nested rows
Live presence (ability to see others also viewing a database at the same time)
Improved Jira & Confluence import flow
Thank you for being a part of our journey this year. We’re committed to continuing to improve Confluence databases and can’t wait to see how you’ll use new features to enhance your workflows. Stay tuned for more updates in 2025!
Cheers,
Dustin Smith| Confluence Product Marketing Manager
P.S. If you’re introducing others at your company to Confluence databases, Sr. PM Christina Ristevski and I are hosting a getting started webinar for databases on February 20th. It’s the perfect place for new database users to begin their training. 🙂
