NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
When shutting down Confluence for administrative purposes, it's very likely there's users logged in who are editing some pages. I currently have a process of pre-warning people over email a couple times but processes which rely on people generally don't work that well. Also I can't run around the office telling people I'm shutting the software down since there's 17 offices using Confluence.
Please consider the following improvement: Confluence administrators should be able to switch Confluence into "shutdown mode". In this mode, new user sessions should be prevented and everyone with an active session should see a standard "system is going down" message along with a message written by the administrator. Of course allow saving pages but maybe prevent opening new pages for editing?
This would make Confluence a lot more "enterprise friendly". I've reported similar issue for Jira (JRA-3325) which unfortunately hasn't been implemented.
