Hi Atlassian-Team,

first of all, I realy like the new Dashboard with the sidebar and a lot of my customers do as well. Just to make it even a little better, I've got a few suggestions, that would help make the work of a Confluence user even more efficient:

Updates

Actually, in larger systems nobody cares about all update or even hat the time to care about it. Even the popular content is most of the time not interesting for most people. If you'd like to work efficiently you realy need to customize your activity stream by yourself to just get the information you're interestet in. You can do so with watching or favoring content (spaces) People want to decide what they want to be informed about (PULL) and not getting PUSH-notified. Hence, updates from my favorites > all updates !

Tasks

You already started to get important content for a user out of the profile onto the dasboard. That's great and I'd even get further by moving other personal work content like Tasks or Drafts to the My Work category at the dashboard / sidebar.

Customize the dashboard

Last but not least, since more and more items will be needed on the dashboard. it would be realy helpful, if admins and users could customize the dashboard / side easily similar to the sidebar of space by hiding specific elements that they dont need.

I hope that will help you to keep on improving Confluence even more!
Cheers
Florian
