    • 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.

    Description

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

      • Prior to Confluence 4.x we could e-mail pages to the team or outside of the team.
      • Share does not replace the e-mail page functionality. It just sends a pretty e-mail that contains a basic hyperlink. The problem with this is that the important information that is in the Confluence page does not appear in the body of the e-mail and the Share sender cannot guarantee that the people reading the e-mail will actually click on the link.
        • Use case example #1: I'm trying to transition my RnD/Tools Engineers off of using Microsoft Outlook to communicate important info. during our tool roll outs. Instead, I want them to use the Confluence Blog feature to communicate this sort of info. because it preserves the info. and becomes a reference resource for the short/long term. However, my RnD/Tools Engineers refuse to use Confluence Blog + Share because it does not guarantee that the artists on the floor will actually see or read the important information they are communicating. I agree with them that this isn't a problem with our communication workflow, but a limitation of the Confluence software.
        • Use case example #2: Our IS Engineering team would also like to be able to e-mail full Confluence pages via the web interface. They document hardware deployments and handling procedures in Confluence. However, not all of their team members have access to Confluence when accessing e-mail remotely. Sending a link to the Confluence page isn't enough in this case, and our IS Engineers end up manually copying and pasting page content into their e-mails. Allowing them to send full pages from the Confluence web interface would smooth out this workflow.
      • This is a roadblock for Confluence adoption.
      • To transition my team members off of using Microsoft Outlook for communicating important info. team-wide, we need this functionality.
