Space templates in Confluence: Copy Page Tree as a workaround

When we speak with customers about which content they maintain and how it is structured in Confluence, we are frequently confronted with a demand that sounds trivial but cannot be implemented with in-house means. There are no templates for spaces that you can use when creating new spaces. A new space should include template pages, often with specific content or even with specific information architecture.

Codeyard – Your and my comprehensive approach to Atlassian Software

Atlassian

Most of the people reading this blog post at the time of publishing will not know what Codeyard is. And it may sound strange that I am not sure either what it will be six months from now. If you want to stop reading right now, I will have to live with it. But there is a very big upside for you: Codeyard is everything Atlassian you want it to be.

JIRA and Confluence: What customers want most and what Atlassian does not deliver

Atlassian has a public JIRA instance where everyone can add feature wishes and vote for existing ones. They close duplicates and link to the original wish if you are asking the same as someone else. They comment on issues and help phrase wishes in a way that reflect the software deficiencies and needs of customers. And they let you and me vote for what we want the most. If Atlassian could fix all bugs, they would. But they can’t. So they have to make choices.

Duplicate Content Defender for Confluence: Preventing redundant work and content

When creating a new Confluence page (specifically, when entering the page title), the Duplicate Content Defender automatically searches the instance (starting once the fourth character in the title line has been entered) for potential matching content and displays these potentially redundant pages. DCD references up to seven existing pages with an option to display additional results. The search includes both the page title and all of the page content. Search terms found in the titles are highlighted in bold.
