    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

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

      Description

      I often use the share page/blog functionality, but there seems to be no way to track and search the history of who these have been shared with.

      Workaround

      Audit Log Events in Confluence allow administrators to view when pages and blog posts have been shared. This is only captured when end user activity for pages and blogs is set to 'Advanced' or 'Full' auditing coverage. 

      System admins, Confluence admins and space admins can also access audit logs for a specific space, if they have permission to administer that space.

      For more information about how auditing works, see Auditing in Confluence.

            [CONFSERVER-22396] Track sharing page history

            Hi all,

            Thank you for your votes and watches on this suggestion.

            We are beginning greater research on the topic of __ security alert audit logs and would love to hear from you.

            We want to learn:

            • What information that you want to see in your audit logs that impacts your team’s security
            • How you want to be informed of potential security alerts that are captured in your logs

            To assist with understanding your team’s needs in this area, we will be conducting research interviews.

            How these sessions will work:

            • Sessions are 1 hour and conducted over video conference, so you can participate from anywhere around the world.
            • After scheduling, you'll receive a calendar invite with a video conference link.
            • For the interview, we'll start with a general chat to get to know you and your company, then we will cover your auditing needs and potential solutions.
            • As a thank you for your time, you'll receive an e-gift card worth $100 USD within 5 days of completing your session. 

            If you're interested in taking part and to make sure you’re the right fit please complete the interview questionnaire. We can't guarantee that all interested parties will be selected but we appreciate your interest in helping us to improve your audit log alert experience.

            Atlassian Update – 2nd June 2023

            Hi everyone!

            My name is Charlie and I work in Confluence Data Center.

            We are looking to chat with customers who regularly use Confluence Data Center or Server in a non-admin capacity (creating or reviewing pages and blogs etc.) to meet with us 1:1 for one hour to help inform our upcoming product roadmap.

            We will be running these sessions in June 2023. If any of your team or colleagues are interested in participating, please reach out to confluence-research@atlassian.com.

            Thank you so much for helping us continue to improve and deliver value to the Confluence community!

            there have been serveral instances where having this feature would have been extremely useful.  E.g., shared page with note added and recipient lost, deleted or did not receive the message - the contents of the note included when sharing may not be lost.

            Same here, I want to track the shares by date, shared page/view, along with the comment sent (important for my case), and the recipients.
            I usually send change requests and would like to track the suggestions and progress.
            The CC feature is also interesting, but a dashboard view or something like this, would be ideal, I think.

            For me, I mostly just want to be able to see the shares I sent along with the message I included and who it was sent to. A page somewhere in Confluence where I could pull it up could suffice.

            What might also work and possibly be more useful even would be a way to "copy myself" on the share message outgoing like Google Calendar has for emailing event attendees. Then I'd at least have a record of it in my email and could track it there along with records of other similar sent messages.

            Hi all,

            Thank you so much for your votes and comments on this suggestion.

            We are beginning greater research on the topic of advanced auditing and would love to hear from you.

            We intend to better understand:

            • What information you need to log and keep about your Atlassian applications and environments
            • What are the questions you need to answer, or specific insights your are looking for when auditing logs

            Responses can be in regard to information that needs to be tracked for internal policies (i.e. security) or compliance standards (i.e. SOC2 or SOX)

            What’s involved in the research:

            • Sessions are 1 hour and conducted over video-conference, so you can participate from anywhere around the globe.
            • After scheduling, you'll receive a calendar invite with a video-conference link.
            • During the research, we'll start with a general chat to get to know you and your company, then try to understand better your auditing needs and even explore some prototypes.
            • As a token of our appreciation, you'll receive an e-gift card worth $100 USD within 5 days of completing your session.

            If you're interested in taking part, please send me an email at rbattaglin@atlassian.com and I'll get in touch. We can't guarantee that all interested parties will be selected but we appreciate your interest in helping us to make auditing in our products satisfy more advanced use cases.

            We look forward to meeting you!

            Enhanced Sharing for Confluence provides the exact functionality in this feature request. We believe this should be part of the Confluence core product too, but unfortunately it isn't at this time.

            Having the person who shares the page automatically receive the note would REALLY be helpful.  I get that sharing without history makes sharing valuable as a friendly/not tracked part of the record. BUT COPYING THE SENDER ISN'T REALLY ASKING THAT MUCH!  All too often I forget to add myself, and I have no idea if I included the right people, or if I navigated away from the page before sending it.

            As a workaround, if you add yourself in the 'Share' list, you not only receive the share yourself but on the alert that you get you will also see the names of the others with whom you shared.

            I don't trust that my Share was sent out to all members of my list. After sending to 6 individuals, the confirmation message said something like "Your page has been shared with and 5 others". What am I to make of that?!

            Thanks for your interest in this issue.

            While this suggestion has gathered significant interest, we're unable to implement all of the excellent suggestions you make. We appreciate the benefits of such requests, but don't plan to work on this for the foreseeable future.

            This suggestion will be reviewed in about 12 month's time, at which point we’ll consider whether we need to alter its status.

            Hi all, there's a feature in Knowledge Pathways for Confluence (add-on) that allows you to invite (or share with) a user into a set of Confluence content and track their completion progress. When a user is invited, they will appear in the user list. When the user 'enrolls' to the content pathway, their progress will be visible from the same list, too.

            We want to help solve content delivery and tracking inside Confluence, so it's probably worth a look - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.servicerocket.confluence.pathways/server/overview

            Diego, no, they did not, the statement referred to the Cloud-version only. What that means for the server version is unclear, but it might help to inquire at voc@atlassian.com since Atlassian (paradoxically) don't seem to be very active in this JIRA issue.

            Hi, I am sharing the response I got from Stephen George, Customer Insights Manager for Confluence at Atlassian when I asked for a status update on this matter via email: 

            I spoke to the Confluence Product Team and they have no immediate plans to add this feature to the Cloud version unfortunately. I apologise that I don't have better news for you - we try our best to accommodate as many feature requests as possible, but sometimes the investment, timing, or product direction might not match the incremental value for all users. Since the ticket is still open, we'll update with any additional news in the future. 

            Thanks for contributing to our product development process. If you have any additional questions, then please let me know.

            Dear Atlassian, seriously, this issue was raised close to 6 years ago and is still unassigned. I would appreciate if you could come out of the closet on this one and provide a status update, i.e. has the issue been allocated to a release, and if so, what is the ETA? (cc: @voc@atlassian.com).

            Please, take into consideration this suggestion, it would be pretty useful and would encourage the use of Confluence. If the users have to share with themselves to keep track of their shares they will still depend on their email and will not fully rely on Confluence for their collaboration.

            The suggested workaround improves the internal mail storm. Through Confluence we'd like to reduce the quantity of mails. Notification by mail is okay as long as users are not permanently working in Confluence. But setting myself to the list and save the mail I've been sent (for ages....) reminds me of an old school method....

            Sharing the page is a great feature in Confluence; you can send an email to multiple contacts without leaving the product. However, it's valuable to know whom the page was shared with in the past.

            This is very important to us from a security perspective, as we need to be able to audit all shares of certain pages. Sensitive corporate information falls under this category, and we need to be able to view any shares of a page, even if by an administrator.

            An incredibly important feature. A lot of company information is shared through Confluence, to create accountability for our staff receiving these pages I need to be able to see when/with whom I shared the content with.

            Share is also one of important functions I used. I want to know the share history.

            I've have a need to be able to see the sharing history of a page so I can see who (users/groups) a page has been shared with. It would be useful as I don't want to be the guy that bombards people with the same share multiple times. Also if I come back to see a page later on (maybe a day later) It would be useful to know if I have already shared it with everyone that I want it shared with.

            Really it would be useful for when I get those little 'memory glitches'.

            In Confluence and JIRA the "share" is a dead end that breaks any attempt of tracking progress and auditing processes. And yet it is the only way of introducing (with Mentions, perhaps) additional users into the conversation.

            This is very important for us
            Please, fix it. It's there for a long time.

            At the VERY least, the user sharing a page with others should by default be added to the recipients list, so there's a chance for some kind of record of one's sharing activity within Conflu.
            So, be humane/reasonable, Atlassian People, and fix this, plz.

            This would be extremely useful because we often use page sharing for content approvals. Then it is vital to have a record on what was shared with whom and when.
