Feedback around the ability to add new Confluence gadgets

As of May 2020, support has ended for the following Gadgets in Confluence Cloud:

• Activity Stream
• Confluence Page Gadget
• Confluence Quick Nav Gadget
• News gadget

Any existing instances of these gadgets will still work. However, you won't be able to insert them into the legacy editor or the new editor using the macro browser, slash command, or a shortcut key. Atlassian will not longer fix bugs related to these gadgets.

Gadgets were designed to allow you to display information dynamically from sources like iGoogle or Jira, for example, in Confluence. The first gadgets were introduced in the early versions of Confluence Server, and the technology they used is now obsolete. Since then we have also implemented a number of better ways to display dynamic information using macros and other integration points.

This suggestion will track your feedback around Confluence gadgets.
