📣 Admin LOVE: Content Manager is BACK in left nav + NEW Automation Templates Search & Filters 🤩

[#1]

👋 Community - Avinoam from Confluence here again and today with two great pieces of news for our amazing admins:

1. Bulk Archive is back in the left nav as Content Manager.
2. Automation templates now have search and filters.

Content Manager

We heard your feedback over the last few months and we're happy to announce that the formerly known Bulk Archive is now back in the left nav as Content Manager for you to find as easily and as quickly as possible!

Previously you would have needed to find the feature within your Space Settings, now you'll be able to access it directly from your left nav within the space of your choosing:

Ways you can manage your content within the Content Manager feature today are:

• Bulk archive your content
• Bulk delete your content
• Filter to view all of your content that is inactive (and adjust the time threshold that categorizes content as 'inactive')

More content management capabilities coming soon:

• Bulk change page owner
• Filter to view all pages owned by an inactive user

Automation Templates Search & Filters

You can now directly search or filter based on category all your automation templates across all Atlassian products 🎉

Confluence Automation

Jira Automation

When it will be available?

This is already live to all Confluence Premium and Enterprise customers!

We want to hear from you!

We’d love your feedback so please feel free to schedule time with us directly here or drop a comment on our posts

Great work @Avinoam and the team. Content manager features being front and certain is brilliant. 

[Susanna Babayan]

woah thanks a lot @Avinoamlearned quite the news!

@Avinoam, dont suppose you know the month/year when this feature was initially released, do you?

@Avinoam as Pages are not the only types of 'content' that live in the tree within Confluence, when will Homepages, Whiteboards and Databases be added to the Content Manager?

Especially the latter is a real problem on our side. Where the original implementation allowed use to set permissions on a per database basis, the latest update / migration seems to have removed the entire feature... except for the original 'content' owner. Setting correct permissions on the Space level doesn't solve the problem.

@[deleted] the Content Manager supports all content types! Please confirm this is the case on your end. thanks!

[Deleted user]

@Avinoam now it does, thanks!

The only thing still missing is (bulk) transferring ownership of content items.

[Avinoam]

@[deleted] that's actually already live! if you go to Content Manager and filter out by inactive page owners, and select pages, you'll see the bulk change owner action! :) 

[Deleted user]

Sorry, but this doesn't seem to work for content and database with a current owner.

And an active user also can't transfer ownership to someone else within the organisation, for instance a knowledge manager who has to manage more centralised databases.

Actions seem to be very limited within the Content Manager.

Maik
