Background / Problem

Today in Confluence Cloud, site admins and customers can:

• See a list of spaces (e.g. Space Directory, Space Settings, Space Reports)

• Export a CSV from Space Reports and then manually count the rows

However, there is no simple way in the UI to see the total number of spaces in a site, such as:

“Total: 5,000 spaces”

For small sites with only a few spaces, this is usually not a problem. But for larger enterprise customers with 1,000+ or even several thousand spaces, manually counting or relying on CSV export is impractical and error-prone.

In practice, both customers and Atlassian support / solution engineers need to know:

• How many spaces exist in the site in total

• (Optionally) how many are current / archived / deleted

Right now, customers often have to:

• Export the Space Reports CSV and count rows, or

• Ask Atlassian support / migration teams to access the site and count on their behalf

This creates unnecessary work for both customers and Atlassian, especially when the only thing they need is a simple total number.

Requested Improvement

Add a clearly visible “Total spaces” count in the Confluence Cloud UI, for example:

• At the bottom of the Space Reports page, similar to the way spreadsheets show a total count, and/or

• In the Space Directory or relevant admin views

Examples of what would be helpful:

• A simple label such as:

• • Total spaces: 5,000

• Optionally, broken down by status (if available):

• • Current: 4,800 / Archived: 150 / Deleted (retained): 50

The key requirement is that admins and customers can see the total number of spaces at a glance, without having to export CSVs or open a support ticket.

Why this matters / Impact

• For large customers with 1,000+ spaces (e.g. some enterprise tenants with ~5,000 spaces), this is important for:

• • Migration planning and validation

• • Governance, cleanup, and archiving projects

• • License and usage discussions

• It reduces operational overhead:

• • Customers no longer need to manually count or maintain their own scripts

• • Atlassian support / migration engineers don’t need to log in and count on their behalf

• It’s a small, low-complexity UX improvement that would provide clear value for large sites, while not harming smaller ones (who may simply ignore it).

Example user story

As a Confluence site admin of a large enterprise site,
I want to see the total number of spaces directly in the UI,
so that I can quickly understand the scale of my site and report it to stakeholders without exporting CSVs or opening a support ticket.
