NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.
As previously announced, in order to better focus our development efforts on a single theme, we plan to remove the Documentation theme from Confluence.
We know that many of you use the Documentation theme because you like to have a page tree in the space sidebar. The default theme's sidebar has had a page tree for some time now, plus other great features like sidebar shortcuts, JIRA links, and sticky table headers.
To help you switch to the more modern default theme, we've added some of your favourite documentation theme features, including the ability to add:
- a header and footer
- custom content to the sidebar.
These new additions to the default theme are available now for Cloud customers, and will be available in Confluence 5.9 for Server customers.
If you'd like to read more about this change see the:
If you have questions or concerns about this change, please comment on this issue.
Update 27 April: The documentation theme has been removed from Confluence Cloud.
See our frequently asked questions page for answers to all your questions about the default theme and migration process in Confluence Cloud.
For Confluence Server customers, the documentation theme will be removed in Confluence 6.0. We'll provide plenty of information well in advance to help you prepare for the change.

Hi everyone,
Thank you for bringing this suggestion to our attention.
As explained in our new feature policy, there are many factors that influence our product roadmaps and determine the features we implement. When making decisions about what to prioritize and work on, we combine your feedback and suggestions with insights from our support teams, product analytics, research findings, and more. This information, combined with our medium- and long-term product and platform vision, determines what we implement and its priority order.
Unfortunately, this suggestion didn’t make it to the roadmap this time and we are closing it.
As we continue to roll out features we do look at feedback from our users and if you feel like this suggestion is still important to your team please let us know by commenting on this ticket.
Thank you again for providing valuable feedback to our team!
