Confluence Update: Enhanced Visibility and Productivity Features for Teams

If you want to make your workflow better, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to undertake a complete overhaul of your existing systems or processes.

Instead, all that is truly required is one essential element to make your work better:

Visibility.

This is precisely what the latest update to Confluence delivers to its users. With this update, you can expect a variety of new features designed to enhance your collaborative experience and streamline your workflow.

• Draw directly on Whiteboards using a new freehand pen tool, allowing for more creative and flexible brainstorming sessions that can capture ideas in real-time.

• Utilize AI instantly with the new floating Rovo button, which provides immediate access to artificial intelligence capabilities, enhancing productivity and efficiency in your tasks.

• Identify who is editing a page with enhanced presence features, ensuring that team members can see who is currently working on a document, thereby improving collaboration and reducing the chances of conflicting edits.

• Receive clearer, cleaner code with syntax highlighting in code blocks, making it easier for developers and technical users to read and understand code snippets within the platform.

• Format number fields seamlessly as currency, percentages, or standard numbers, simplifying data entry and making it more intuitive for users to manage numerical information.

Are you a guest user?

Now you can also benefit from automated digest emails, smart reminders, and follow suggestions, which will help you stay informed and engaged with the ongoing activities within your team, even if you do not have full access to all features.

And it’s well proven that when you give your team clarity, speed follows.

When everyone can see what matters, execution improves.

The bundled release goes live August 12, 2025 (GMT).

And it’s going to quietly make your team faster.
