This week, we’ll break down how to use Confluence comments for exceptional collaboration, help admins manage teams, and introduce a new learning opportunity from the Confluence and Skillshare teams.
Let's dive in!
Mastering Confluence Comments: Keep It Fun, Keep It Productive 🎉
Collaboration in Confluence isn’t just about writing pages—it’s about collaborating on them. That’s where comments come in! 🗨️ But not all comments are created equal. Let’s break it down:
Inline Comments: Get Specific 🎯
Inline comments are for when you need to zoom in on a particular piece of content. They’re perfect for:
✅ Suggesting edits on specific text ✏️
✅ Highlighting things you love (because positivity matters! 💙)
✅ Making long pages easier to review without scrolling forever 🔍
Pro tip: Use mentions to make sure the right person sees it. And once a comment is handled? Resolve it to keep things tidy!
Page Comments: Big Picture Stuff 🌍
Page comments live at the bottom and are great for:
💡 Giving feedback on the entire page
👥 Starting a discussion with the team
📢 Requesting a review without picking apart every word
Unlike inline comments, page comments don’t resolve, so keep them relevant and don’t let them pile up like your unread emails. 📩
Comment Like a Pro 🚀
🔹 Be clear and constructive—no riddles! 🧐
🔹 Use mentions wisely so people actually see your feedback
🔹 Resolve inline comments when they’re done to avoid clutter
Done right, comments make teamwork smoother, documentation better, and life easier. Check out the full article to go forth and comment like a champ! 🏆
