    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      One idea is to have a

      macro that shows a table or list of current drafts for a user, for use in things like custom themes, dashboards or personal pages.

            Is there a workarround possible? I've tried to create a user macro based on the viewmydrafts.vm file, but this doesn't seem to work (can't seem to have the .action part of viewmydrafts.action beeing triggered).
            Also have put a question to CustomWare, but they state that this is currently not possible using the reporting plugin.

            I entirely agree. We've got a situation where users spend ages crafting content on the editing screen, unknowingly go past the session timeout, hit save and end up at the login screen believing that they've lost their content... it would be good to have some kind of indication that the logged on user has a draft.

            Drafts is a nice feature that needs to be greatly elevated in status throughout Confluence--it needs to be clearer when there are drafts, when they're saved, and everything. This macro would be a good start.
