      Status Update: 4 February 2022

      Hi folks, my name is Daniel Ayele and I'm a Product Manager on the Confluence team where I manage our collaboration feature family. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions regarding improving the ability to track sharing page history. I'm excited to announce that we have plans on our roadmap to improve the page history experience in Confluence to make it easier for customers to view and understand page history and activity. As part of this effort we will take this suggestion into consideration. Stay tuned to our community and other product update channels to learn more when we bring this functionality to market.

      I often use the functionality of sharing page, but there seem no way to track and search the history.

            [CONFCLOUD-22396] Track sharing page history

            +1!

            This morning I've shared a post to many groups of my organisation but in the end I'm not 100% sure if I forgot (or not) a part of the audience ...

            This is still a feature that is requested by our team

            Hope you would save it in the page history somewhere

            It is a shame that Confluence does not save the sharing of a page in the history and that you have to share the link by email.

            I have a terrible memory, and create many docs in Confluence. Often I'm not sure if I've shared something with a particular person, and my current workaround is to copy the link and send it out via my email inbox 😱 I'd love to see a history so I know who's already received it.

            Hey Guys, I just started using Confluence and that's the first thing I found missing. Thumbs up for this functionality!

            I would also like to request this feature - it's too easy to forget who has/has not been invited, especially when multiple people/teams are added separately.

            Looking for this feature to be implemented, need to know many times to what people and when a page was shared. thanks !

            This is something I would love to see!  Just today I was trying to figure out if I had previously shared a page with someone.  I was hoping to go into the Page Information and see an area showing dates and users who shared the page.  No such luck!  If this is added, PLEASE also include a way (macro) to run a list of any pages in the space that have been shared, date of share, user who shared, and who the share was made to (users or groups).  Please don't make it where we for forced to navigate to EACH page to find the share information with no way to have a consolidated report.  Thanks!!!

            Diego, no, they did not, the statement referred to the Cloud-version only. What that means for the server version is unclear, but it might help to inquire at voc@atlassian.com since Atlassian (paradoxically) don't seem to be very active in this JIRA issue.

            Thanks, thorbjorn.sundboe1474058729 for sharing. It is a pity they do not consider this feature for a near future development.

            Hi, I am sharing the response I got from Stephen George, Customer Insights Manager for Confluence at Atlassian when I asked for a status update on this matter via email: 

            I spoke to the Confluence Product Team and they have no immediate plans to add this feature to the Cloud version unfortunately. I apologise that I don't have better news for you - we try our best to accommodate as many feature requests as possible, but sometimes the investment, timing, or product direction might not match the incremental value for all users. Since the ticket is still open, we'll update with any additional news in the future. 

            Thanks for contributing to our product development process. If you have any additional questions, then please let me know.

            Dear Atlassian, seriously, this issue was raised close to 6 years ago and is still unassigned. I would appreciate if you could come out of the closet on this one and provide a status update, i.e. has the issue been allocated to a release, and if so, what is the ETA? (cc: @voc@atlassian.com). Thanks.

            This issue is still unassigned. Could someone from Atlassian please provide a status update, i.e. has the issue been allocated to a release, and if so, what is the ETA? We're running Confluence 5.10.0.

            Please, take into consideration this suggestion, it would be pretty useful and would encourage the use of Confluence. If the users have to share with themselves to keep track of their shares they will still depend on their email and will not fully rely on Confluence for their collaboration.

            The suggested workaround improves the internal mail storm. Through Confluence we'd like to reduce the quantity of mails. Notification by mail is okay as long as users are not permanently working in Confluence. But setting myself to the list and save the mail I've been sent (for ages....) reminds me of an old school method....

            I'm looking forward to your adding this feature; the workaround of adding yourself to shares is just too easy to forget. The lack of this feature reduces the value of Confluence for many of our users, including myself.

            Sharing the page is a great feature in Confluence; you can send an email to multiple contacts without leaving the product. However, it's valuable to know whom the page was shared with in the past. It makes sense to have visibility on this at least for the page creator (if the page is private) and for all Confluence users (if the page is public).

            I agree this is important from an audit perspective (as well as just keeping track of who you've shared with). Currently I share with myself at the same time, which is a bit counter-intuitive. Thanks.

            This is very important to us from a security perspective, as we need to be able to audit all shares of certain pages. Sensitive corporate information falls under this category, and we need to be able to view any shares of a page, even if by an administrator.

            An incredibly important feature. A lot of company information is shared through Confluence, to create accountability for our staff receiving these pages I need to be able to see when/with whom I shared the content with.

            A very important feature. A workaround is to share every page with yourself, but then you have the track history in your email program - not in the central communication and collaboration tool Confluence.

            I've have a need to be able to see the sharing history of a page so I can see who (users/groups) a page has been shared with. It would be useful as I don't want to be the guy that bombards people with the same share multiple times. Also if I come back to see a page later on (maybe a day later) It would be useful to know if I have already shared it with everyone that I want it shared with.

            Really it would be useful for when I get those little 'memory glitches'.

            In Confluence and JIRA the "share" is a dead end that breaks any attempt of tracking progress and auditing processes. And yet it is the only way of introducing (with Mentions, perhaps) additional users into the conversation.

            At the VERY least, the user sharing a page with others should by default be added to the recipients list, so there's a chance for some kind of record of one's sharing activity within Conflu.
            So, be humane/reasonable, Atlassian People, and fix this, plz.
