Highlighting documentation updates without regular maintenance

[Alexandrine DHOLLANDE]

Hello Atlassian Community,

Do you have any solutions for automatically highlighting documentation updates within Confluence without having to do any maintenance on our end? Maybe some plugins?

Thanks a lot!

@Alexandrine DHOLLANDE If you select All content in the sidebar (it's above Space settings in my space), you can sort by Newest to show all pages in the space in order from most recently updated.

Hi @Alexandrine DHOLLANDE and welcome to the Community.

Do you mean which pages were updated or do you want to see highlighted changes on individual pages?

Confluence Databases will give you a pretty good overview of last updated, by whom and the page version number. Once you get all the pages from a space into a DB.

Pages Manager by Ricksoft and Panorama by Kolekti can help too.

As for the highlights on the page level... the issue with that is every save = new page version so, considering incremental updates and edits done to a page..., you would have to define two versions for every page to display the changes.

Scroll Documents provides genuine versioning and it might help as it allows you to:

"Save on-demand versions of your documentation in Confluence. Create snapshots, compare versions, and track changes like edits and comments made to your content over time."

So if you create a snapshot (version) of a space using the app, you should be able to see the changes made between the two versions. I am the app user but I'm not using this specific feature so I can't give you more details.

Thanks a lot @Kristian Klima :) I meant to highlight which pages were updated in a documentation space, more than seeing changes on individual pages.
