Confluence 5 Upgrade - Changes

Redesigned Header

The Confluence header has been updated and consolidates a number of options into one location:

  • Confluence - Returns you to the Dashboard
  • Spaces -  Lists the recent spaces visited and the Space Directory
  • People - People Directory
  • Browse - Look though pages, blogs, and labels
  • Create - Add pages and blog posts
  • Help Icon (question) - presents links to online help, keyboard shortcuts, and other useful pages
  • Workbox - Open Notifications
  • User Options - represented by your profile picture instead of your name, gives access to your personal settings

Creating Content

The 'Add' option has disappeared from the top of pages and from the dashboard. Instead, Confluence 5 offers a Create option in the Confluence header.

Previously: 'Add' button on page

Working with the Meeting Notes Blueprint

The Meeting Notes blueprint helps you to plan your meetings and share notes and actions with your team.

The first time you use the Meeting Notes blueprint in a space, Confluence will create an index page and add a shortcut on your space sidebar (if you are using the default theme). The index page lists the latest Meeting Notes pages in that space.

To use the Meeting Notes blueprint:

  • Create a Meeting Notes blueprint page (choose Create > Meeting Notes).
  • Enter goals, agenda items, @mention attendees - the instructional text will prompt you.
  • Save your page and get ready to attend your meeting. 
  • During or after your meeting edit the page and enter your notes, action items and @mention users to assign them to tasks.

Working with News/Blogs

Each space in Confluence can publish its own news. News items may be announcements, journal entries, status reports or any other timely information you would categorize as 'news' pertaining to a space. News items are also known as 'blog posts'.
