Get the Most of the Mostest from Confluence

Many teams underuse Confluence and other Atlassian tools—but we’re here to change that! As thrifty power users at K15t, we’re obsessed with maximizing Confluence’s potential. Wondering where to start? Here are some tips:

📄 Import Your Docs into Confluence

If you’re collaborating with teams outside Confluence or have information stored in old documents, importing that content into Confluence can create significant value. Centralizing your content improves searchability, enables better organization, and simplifies linking. But don’t import everything indiscriminately—focus on relevant and useful information to avoid clutter.

💡 Move Ideation to Confluence Whiteboards

Brainstorming can be messy and chaotic, no matter your team. Instead of using disparate tools like Jira issues, Word documents, or spreadsheets, leverage Confluence whiteboards—your purpose-built tool for collecting ideas and transitioning them into actionable plans. It’s a seamless way to align creativity and execution.

📍 Organize Information Thoughtfully in Confluence

Barriers to information access slow teams down. Evaluate how information flows within your organization by identifying inefficiencies, minimizing unnecessary steps, and maintaining clear page hierarchies. Regularly cleaning up outdated pages and encouraging a culture of sharing will help your team stay productive.

🔍 Power Up Confluence Search with Rovo

It’s not enough to store your team’s knowledge in Confluence—it must be easy to find. Rovo – Atlassian’s new product that acts as your AI-powered teammate – enhances search across platforms, connecting Confluence, Jira, Google Drive, SharePoint, Slack, and more. With AI-powered search, your team can quickly access exactly what they need.

🤔 Stay Up-to-Date with Confluence Features

Confluence regularly introduces new features, apps, and integrations. Follow Atlassian’s product announcements in the Atlassian Community or check out the news area of this newsletter ⬇️ to stay informed. Also, keep an eye on release notes for any apps you use from the Atlassian Marketplace. When new features launch, encourage your team to explore and find new solutions.
