Sharing and Collaboration in Confluence

With the Confluence collaboration platform, you can easily share and co-edit documents with colleagues or stakeholders. Additionally, Confluence makes it simple to interact with team members by creating comments and threaded discussions within pages, allowing for real-time feedback and quick resolution of questions and issues.

You can even set up notifications so that anyone who has access to a document gets alerted when topics or key elements are modified by another user.

Using Spaces to Organize Work

Confluence spaces are a great way to organize information in Confluence and make sure the right people have access to the documents they need. By creating different confluence spaces for each project, you can keep related documents together, making it easier for users to find what they need. Additionally, confluence spaces allow you to control who has access to view or edit documents within that space.

In this section, you will learn how confluence spaces work and how they can be used to easily organize and track information within your organization.
