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
