@DA please consider giving admins the ability to opt users out of receiving the daily digest (and other emails). For most users we can guide them through the process of updating their email preferences, but for members of the C-suite, they expect us to be able to opt them out rather than guiding them through the process.
You shouldn't unilaterally change the setting for people - by all means introduce a new feature, but don't switch me without my consent and make me struggle to find how to switch it back! I turned on email notifications for a reason.
Re: an above reply - The Confluence Daily Digest is only a summary of page updates across all of the pages and spaces you're watching, and is sent instead of individual page update emails, saving you a ton of room in your inbox. - This is not a "summary of page updates". This is a summary of pages that have been updated. I need to see the updates.
LOVE this and thank you for the great post explaining about it. So happy to hear you listened to feedback. I LOVE THIS new feature!! Our company will be super happy: Less email = great.
Hi, previously i got mails with marked in green parts of text (what was changed exactly) through the whole page, that i'm watching. it was very useful! now i get just the info that some updates were been done. but i havent changed my settings. how can i figure out of this issue? thanx in advance :)
Atlassian will be sending a daily e-mail to avoid sending as many e-mails? I was not receiving e-mails from Atlassian on a daily basis so I will be receiving more unneeded e-mails from Atlassian.
@DAthe digest is useless to me as long as it does not link to the page differences. I have no time to read through all the stuff I'm watching time and time again. The delta emails were just right.
And it seems I must disable that "feature" for each and every Confuence instance even though this is a cloud thing only.
If you want to lure people into the cloud, make features really useful. Which starts by assessing what you are replacing. Whatever your science measured, it did not include why people enabled the watches in the first place.
The date stamps in the digest email do not reflect the actual date of the page updates, there's a significant difference.
For example, here's a digest email body declaring updates on Sunday, Sept 25. The email arrived Tuesday, 27 Sept. The actual pages edits happened Monday, 26 Sept.
Without snippets showing, what has actually changed this is a bit useless for me. I would need to go to every page and look at page history to see what has actually changed.
As is clear by reading above, many users including myself received this unwanted SPAM without opting-in and have no way to disable it. Please remove/roll-back this "feature," until it works as expected and users can control it.
I have not subscribed to anything like this, and yet I receive it.
Good function - but only if I had wanted it. Any email from a system is spam - in MY mind. So for me to like this it should have been a suitable popup inside Confluence informing me about the feature - NOT by auto enabling the feature for me.
Yes, I found how to disable the feature - but that's beside the point
Do not like this email digest at all. I want to go directly to the comparison (like I used to get) so that I can see exactly WHAT has been changed. It's useless to me to know something has changed w/o having the handy highlight of what text was updated/added/deleted. This is a real regression.
