All product documentation is on Confluence. How do I extend it to partners and customers who so far cannot access the documentation?
You can generate a separate, standalone public website from the Confluence managed content using the Viewport app. Many people use it to publish their software documentation with great success!

Dear @Amit Pant
Lotje here from the Refined team. Our Refined for Confluence app seems like a good solution for your use case!
Our app allows you to build a custom site integrated with specific content from Confluence you'd like to expose on your public site.
Next to that you can also apply your own branding to the site and customize the entire navigation and look 'n feel.
If you'd like to see how this would work for your instance, feel free to schedule a demo call with me. I'd be happy to show you!
Kind regards,
Lotje

Hi Amit,
I’d like to add another important point to consider alongside everything mentioned: carefully plan who has access to what and establish a clear workflow for creating, approving, and publishing content. This includes:
We typically recommend keeping drafts and approved documents in separate spaces to ensure your partners and customers only see the latest approved versions.
Workflows for Confluence can streamline this entire process, automatically publishing approved documents to a designated space and keeping everything organized effortlessly.

Hi @Amit Pant
Welcome to the community :)
As @Kristian Klima suggested, the easiest way would be to make your space public in Confluence with anonymous access. Enabling anonymous access for customer-facing Confluence spaces allows users to explore the entire space without login barriers. However, please bear in mind that the native Confluence elements such as the breadcrumbs, space settings, page history, and comments will also remain accessible.
For confluence cloud, you can control what can be published. I would like to direct your attention to Spacecraft app. You can use our app to turn a Confluence space with anonymous access enabled into a slick website with a sidebar on the left for your customers and partners. The end result would look a lot like this user guide that is powered by Spacecraft. You could also add multiple Confluence spaces to one site.

Hi @Amit Pant ,
Are you using Confluence on Data Centre/ Server or Cloud ?
If you are using it on Data Centre, Partners and Customers needs to have an account in your Atlassian Setup and post that you can provide them with the relevant access of the Confluence space and they will be able to view the content.
If you are using it on Cloud , please follow : https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/invite-guests-for-external-collaboration/

Harshit
