How does confluence work?

One of Confluence’s standout features is the ability to create, collaborate and comment on pages and project plans. This allows team members to work together in real time, making updates and changes as needed, and keeping everyone up to date on the latest developments. Another key feature of Confluence is its real-time editing capabilities.

What makes confluence so powerful?

You can use Confluence to create beautiful pages and powerful dashboards in a matter of minutes. While Confluence has all your typical text editing features, what makes it really powerful is all the dynamic content that it comes with, like roadmaps, expands, and search bars. Sounds like complicated web development? It's not.

Is confluence a wiki?

Think of Confluence as a collaborative wiki, where you can house documents that are a part of your project. Where Trello allows you to manage the flow of those projects and Jira allows you to track issues for those projects, Confluence allows you to document those projects. But don’t think of Confluence as a straight-up, standard wiki.

What version of confluence Am I running?

In the above example, it means that you're running Confluence version 4.2.12. (If the version number displayed is just 2 digits, such as '4.2', that is the full version number, and is equivalent to '4.2.0'.) If you don't see that line, you can visit /admin/systeminfo.action and find out the version from there.
