Confluence and JIRA will be was upgraded in August 2019. Exact date will be posted shortly.

In addition to performance and security updates there will be a number of new features and improvements, highlights are described below.

Confluence (Wiki)

Collaborative Editing

Up to 12 people can now work on the same page together.  You'll be able to see who else is editing the page and where they are making changes that you will see in real time.

Resuming Unfinished Work & Publishing

If you work on a page but aren't ready to publish you can click the close button to close the editor and automatically save your changes.  You can return to the page and click edit any time to resume your work. Any unpublished changes from you or your team will be ready and waiting for you. 

You can access your recently worked on items from the profile menu, as well as from the dashboard. 
If you created a page, and it has never been published, you can head to Profile > Drafts to resume working on it.

It is very clear if you're about to discard or publish changes made by other people!

Working on Files

It is now easier to make changes to files without the hassle of downloading and uploading multiple times. You can now edit any file attached to a Confluence page using a desktop application, then save the file back to Confluence in a few clicks. 

Note: To use this feature you will be required to download and install an application.

Other Features

Footer Editor Improvements

When you're editing a page, click the ellipsis (...) icon will give you additional options:

• preview the page
• view all changes since the page was last published
• revert back to the last published version
  
  

From the footer, you'll also be able to:

• delete the page, if it has never been published.
• When you click the Close button, you'll no longer be asked whether you want to keep or discard changes.. Now, the changes are always kept.

Mentioning

Type @ and the people you've mentioned previously will be listed first in addition to yourself (as mentioning yourself is done quite commonly too). Keep typing and it will continue suggesting people.

Copy Page Tree

You can now copy a page and all its child pages to the same space or a different space.  You can also replace text in the title and choose whether to copy Labels and attachments.

Mobile App

Edit pages on to go, get notifications and head straight to recent or saved pages.
