Hi @Brittany Sudlow ,

First of all, wish you a very happy new year!

Thanks for sharing these awesome updates. I have already taken part in the BINGO.

Hi @Brittany Sudlow - great news to read! I'm always into news - most interesting for me is hyperlink image 🤩 (I just had a question here in community about this) Seems little but I think it's big improvement. 

The link in text leads to a draft article - is that right? -> Hyperlinked images I'm just so excited about this 👏

Wohoo!

Hi @Brittany Sudlow ,

This is insightful, thank you very much, I happened to watch the Jira/Confluence webinar you shared, and Confluence analytics feature is awesome.

I participated in Bingo and had my own share of joy tick-marking the blocks, just to find there are many aspects I know and many more that I got newly introduced to, looking forward for more such in 2021.

Finally, I tried to subscribe to the RSS feed link, however, was not able to, not sure if it was a problem just for me.

Happy new year to you/all, and glad to stay connected.

Hi @Fabienne Gerhard you are right the link was broken! I removed it for now and will throw it in there when I have it fixed. 

@Vinod Ramadoss Try this link for the RSS https://community.atlassian.com/tnckb94959/rss/search?q=tags:(whats-new). Basically, you can click the tag "whats-new" on the right side of the article. This will show every article of the new features each month for Confluence!

@Brittany Sudlow Thank you for that article!

Do you need to rearrange your to-do list via labels mechanically? Why not use a button and have Butler do it for you? Have a card that you create once a week? Tell Butler it is his process now. Not simplest is it effective, it's also fun to setup as you can see.
