What is Confluence Cloud?

Confluence Cloud is a web-based productivity tool that allows users to create, share, and collaborate on documents and other content in a shared workspace.

It is designed to bring people, knowledge, and ideas together in one place so that teams can work together more efficiently and effectively.

Confluence Cloud offers free, standard, and premium plans for teams with different needs, with each plan offering different features and functionality for different stages of business.

How to use ONLYOFFICE Docs within Confluence?

You can attach files in the Pages module of your Confluence account. Should they be office documents supported by ONLYOFFICE, you’ll see the ‘Edit in ONLYOFFICE’ option in the context menu.

The first version of the connector supports the fundamental ONLYOFFICE Docs features:

Editing and collaboration on text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX)
Viewing PDF, ODF and office files of other formats
Real-time collaboration in Fast and Strict modes
Tracking changes, comments, built-in chat

In the upcoming releases, the connector will obtain more features, including those available in the integration app for the on-premise version of Confluence: creating office files, work with fillable forms (OFORM and DOCXF), connection to desktop editors etc.
