Problem

Currently, Confluence Cloud lacks a straightforward built-in feature to easily identify the spaces where a specific user has edited pages.

While options exist, such as certain macros and the REST API, they are not entirely intuitive for all users, especially those without technical expertise.

Suggested Solution

Develop a built-in report or enhanced macro that allows users to directly view and filter spaces based on user activity, specifically focusing on page edits.

This feature should provide an intuitive interface to search by username and return a list of spaces with corresponding edit activities, without requiring advanced technical knowledge.

Why This Is Important

Tracking the spaces where users contribute is crucial for content management, auditing, and understanding user engagement. It aids in identifying key contributors and assessing their impact across the Confluence instance, which is valuable for maintaining the quality and relevance of content.

Workaround

Currently, there is no simple, non-technical workaround available. The existing options, such as macros and API usage, may not be feasible for all users.

1. Content by User Macro: This macro lists all the content created by a specified user across Confluence, including pages, comments, and spaces. It can be configured to display content from specific spaces by specifying space keys.
2. Recent Updates Macro: This macro shows recently changed content and can filter results by author to display only pages last modified by specified users. It can also filter by space.
3. Confluence REST API: Our API allows for programmatic retrieval of page history, including edit information by author. Users can filter and sort content based on various parameters.
   • This involves fetching pages and filtering by the `history` property to match the `createdBy` or `lastUpdatedBy` fields with the desired user.
   • While these methods can help track and identify spaces, they may require technical expertise or additional configuration.

A more accessible solution would greatly enhance usability.
