About Confluence

Confluence is a shared workspace to create and manage all your work. Unlike document and file-sharing tools, Confluence is open and collaborative, helping your team and your company do their best work together. From technical teams and project management, to marketing, HR, and finance - the more people in an organization that use it, the more value teams get from it.

Confluence makes it easy to organize and find the information you need. Group related pages together in a dedicated space for your work, your team, or cross-functional projects. Depending on permissions, a space in Confluence can be made accessible to just you or the entire company. Page trees, which create a hierarchical list of pages within a space, highlight topics on parent pages and help keep work tidy.

Need to find something? Do a quick search to find any page ever created. You can even locate a comment someone posted to a page. Even after someone has left your company, you can still search for work they did, so knowledge is never lost.

Just about every type of project imaginable has started as a simple page in Confluence, from planning an office party to NASA's mission to Mars. Whether you need to capture meeting notes, document product requirements, or kick-off a design review, Confluence is a flexible platform for all your team's work.

Adapt Confluence to your specific work style to create a familiar place for your team to connect. Confluence's open workspace helps teams collaboratively create, review, revise, and finalize plans so work keeps moving forward.

No surprise that Confluence works seamlessly with Atlassian tools. Its pages provide a great backdrop for Jira Software tickets or Trello cards and boards. Inserting Jira tickets on your Confluence pages is as simple as copy/past, or create new tickets directly from your page by right-clicking on highlighted text. If you work in Trello, you can make updates directly to your cards right from Confluence pages.

In addition to seamless Atlassian integrations, there are hundreds of apps available for Confluence in the Atlassian Marketplace. Whether you want to add spreadsheets to your page, insert diagrams, showcase design prototypes or integrate with other popular apps like Google Drive or Salesforce, Marketplace apps make it easy to add more power to your pages to do your best work.

Overall confluence has been very easy to use and operate, and get used to.

Pros

I am quite glad this tool exists, It has an easy to navigate and even easier way to create new type of documents. I've been able to add smart links to give an in-window layout of the different file types for this.

Cons

The admin to Org roles are confusing if you're new to this.

Positive! I enjoy using confluence in my day to day. I use it often for my own page creation as well as discovery of other resources.

Pros

- Organization of files is super helpful to keep things easily discoverable
- Customizations on pages
- Integrations with other platforms and services

Cons

Sometimes permissions. I find often times I forget to change them before sending to a coworker and they’ll need to request access.
