    • 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.

      As a site admin, I don't want my first time users to have to watch spaces when they are doing on boarding on Confluence. Let them make this decision later. Please add a skip option in there too.

      Workaround

      The default onboarding experience can be turned off by system administrators by going to Settings > Manage apps

      And then changing the filter to "System" and searching for "Confluence Onboarding" there should be 1 matching add-on. Click on it and then click on the "Disable" button.

      This will disable the onboarding experience and users will instead be taken straight to the dashboard on their first login without being required to watch or create a space.

      See How to skip the onboarding page (welcome.action) for new users in Confluence.

      Solution

      In Confluence 6.14.0 (to be released late January 2019), we replaced the existing onboarding flow for normal users (i.e. non-admins) with a simple modal dialog when they first login to Confluence. Users are no longer asked to watch a space.

      Upgrading to Confluence 6.14.0 or newer will resolve this issue.

            I like that this suggestion has been addressed. Unfortunately it's not enough as admins also get a welcome screen without any possibility to opt-out and therefore are forced to create a new, potentially unnecessary, space.

            To address that point I've just created an additional suggestion CONFSERVER-58942.

            In 6.14 we've simplified the onboarding for new users.

            New users joining your Confluence site will no longer be prompted to upload a profile picture or watch spaces when they first log in. We’ve replaced the three-step onboarding wizard with a simple 'Welcome to Confluence' modal, so they can get to know your site before deciding which spaces to watch.
