New in Confluence: Request access to view restricted pages
Tell me this has never happened to you before: A co-worker shares a page with you or @mentions you in one. You click the link eager to see what’s so important. You get an error message because the page has view restrictions. Frustrated, you email said person asking for access. Said person edits the page’s restrictions and gives you […]
Fix little things: Atlassian’s paper cuts project
At UX Australia 2013, Dan Saffer opened the conference with a talk about microinteractions. Essentially a microinteraction is something you’d find on littlebigdetails.com — an interaction that’s small, often overlooked, or even subconscious.

The Evolution of Plugins for the Cloud
When I first heard about Atlassian some years ago, one description kept coming up–”the power of Atlassian applications is that you can make them do whatever you want”.

Stash backup and restore client for Git projects
Making Stash backups easier Until now, Atlassian’s recommended procedure for backing up a Stash server involved shutting down Stash and using your own scripts to backup the database and filesystem. That wasn’t ideal: system administrators had to spend time writing backup scripts and users were often given no information why the system is down. Alongside Stash […]
