Great webinar!! 

Given how many spaces have the same permission requirements I really liked the "create space with this other space's permissions" feature.

[Susan Waldrip]

Thank you @Mindy Park and John Hooper for a spot-on overview of Confluence Premium! The Mission Control looks pretty easy to use and I'm so glad to see all the tools available to Admins, especially those that help us identify stale content, infrequently used pages, and content owners who are no longer active. The video will be a good reference as my team gears up to use Confluence.

[Tomislav Tobijas]

Cool overview of premium features ✨

I think the content manager is really nice. Especially when it's combined w. automation!

[Malene Vikkelsø]

The Mission Control definitely looks promising, and I expect it to be something I would use a lot.

If a similar functionality of how I as an admin can see who the other admins are, was provided to the standard users where they can see who is the admin of their space, that would be really awesome.

Confluence Premium generally seems to be getting a lot of awesome features, which can be used to recommend to clients why they should purchase/upgrade to Premium from Standard. Previously I do not think Premium has had enough good arguments of why the client should be spending that extra money, but I am starting to see the arguments.

[Dave Mathijs]

Thanks for hosting this webinar @Mindy Park and for the hands-on demo @John Hooper !

I'm mostly looking forward to using the Content manager to keep pages and spaces up-to-date.

Automations in Confluence would be the next step.

Hi @Mindy Park & @John Hooper 

The webinar was simply great

What I liked most was the point regarding the content manager, I think it is something that was needed and more than one user like me will appreciate it a lot

We continue to evolve, Atlassian team

Hi @Mindy Park 

Thanks for the great webinar for admins level up.

I like the content manager to maintain the content up-to-date, Automations topic is very good and Mission control is too good.

[Sandeep Enugurthi]

Excellent Demo

Content Manager and troubleshooting permissions are great topics,helps a lot

[Dan Breyen]

I like the Automation options.  There could be many routines that can be automated to make it easier on the Administrator.

Also, having unlimited White Boards.

[Andrew James]

The ability to create automation rules for archiving inactive pages looks very useful!

[Christoph Schaub]

Thanks for the webinar. Premium features are a great base. At the end it's always a matter of finding the time to use them.

[Florian Schmidt]

Very good overview.

I am looking forward when the content manager gets some helpfull bluk actions do manage a lot of sites within a space. 

[Julien COUTURIER]

Thank you for this overview of Confluence Premium. Automation in order to archive inactive pages and Content Manager in Mission Control are the most important features for me. 

Also, Mission Control is really helpful for an admin in order to see user engagement when you deploy Confluence in your company.

[Petr Fučík]

Thanks for a great overview of the admin features in Confluence Premium and highlighting the important challenges admins are facing. It was useful for me to compare with what the datacenter version allows.

[Connor]

Content manager and the continuing improvements to Confluence automation are starting to make it easier to manage our content.

[Hana Kučerová]

Great webinar! I learned a lot new things and I'm looking forward to use Mission Control and Content Manager.

[Helen C]

Mission Control is what got me excited! Its everything I want and need for when we upgrade. The value from this alone is a very compelling reason to upgrade.

[Michiel Schuijer]

Great, loving all the features, however...

Admins don't usually have the power to make budget decisions and if their employer/management does not see the value, they simply don't grant the budget required to go Premium (let alone enterprise).

In practice this is a huge problem for admins, because they are missing out on a whole bunch of features that are as good as basic necessities for their daily routine, way of working and to avoid going crazy from repetitive work and trying to find workarounds for so many simple tasks.

I urge Atlassian to make some of the features available in Standard editions of Confluence and Jira and make an effort to help admins remain happy and stay sane. Another way to help admins could be by preparing use cases with business cases and ROI in easy to understand/digest management language which admins can use to convince management to spend the substantial price hike for Premium/Enterprise. 

The first thing management does when costs need to be cut, is cut the premium and enterprise features for SaaS like Atlassian, or when migrating to cloud just choose Standard to avoid the additional costs, which will bite admins and users in various ways.

Talking from 25+ years of experience with this uphill battle.

[Rick Westbrock]

I haven't created a new space in quite some time so I learned about the ability to copy space permissions when creating a new space.

[Kythera of Anevern]

I am REALLY excited about the Content Manager and the associated bulk actions (current and forthcoming). The instance I manage for my day job has A LOT of content and over 200 users. Bulk actions of any kind are VERY appreciated!

[Brant Schroeder]

Thanks for the webinar.  I really like mission control.  Maintaining relevant content is difficult to do and this looks like a great tool to support that work.

[Hana Kučerová]

I've presented the new features to my colleagues today and they liked them very much!

[Andreas Klopp]

Thank you for a good and informative webinar, it gives a quick overview of the Premium feature set. My favourite part was the bulk management with the Content Manager and I'm really looking forward to being able to organise labels in addition to status soon.

[Michael Kerr]

Great presentation.  

I am looking forward to mission control aspects.

[Natalya Ozhigova]

Hi communy,

Thank you for the webinar! I was excited about the mission control functionality—it’s incredibly useful.
