When should you share a Confluence page?

As one of the best work collaboration tools, Confluence is the perfect place to share ideas and information with others. It’s a good idea to share a page whenever you need feedback, input, or to share news and updates.

Here are some examples of Confluence pages you might want to share:

  • Meeting notes or agendas: Help users prepare ahead of meetings, and keep absent teammates in the loop.

  • Knowledge base pages: Make your Confluence knowledge base content easily accessible for employees and/or customers.

  • News and updates: Share important news and announcements from your company's Confluence blog.

  • Feedback and reviews: If you’ve created a form in Confluence, share it with your customers or the wider organisation to get more responses.

How to share a Confluence page

Go to your chosen Confluence page, then click the Share button in the top-right corner.

Best practices for sharing Confluence pages

Sharing your pages is important for making information accessible to everyone - but it’s worth remembering some important rules:

  • Only share with those you need to: Your company Confluence instance is likely to be full of sensitive information. Remember to check what’s on your page before sharing it, and make sure only those that need to see the information have access to the page.

  • Give clear context: Add a message when sharing your page, or add extra context wherever you include its link. This helps users to better understand the information you’ve shared and ensure it doesn’t get missed.

  • Regularly update shared content: If you’ve shared pages that lots of users will be looking at, such as pages in a knowledge base, it’s important to keep the information relevant and up-to-date. This limits misinformation and ensures everyone is on the same page.
