Atlassian supports embedding Confluence content in several places in Jira

  • Jira Service Management portal articles
  • Project Pages in Jira Software and Jira Work Management

Atlassian have recently opened up Embedded Pagesthe technology that allows this – to be used by third parties. So now you can see your Confluence documentation in new places such as Microsoft Teams, monday.com, Google Workplace, Miro, Refined for Confluence and many more.

Your content can now travel far and wide.

While this newfound versatility is undoubtedly a game-changer, it also brings with it a crucial question:

How do you keep tabs on who's viewing your Confluence content, where they're viewing it, and when they're doing so?
