🆕Release Notes

What's new for Advanced Content Navigator for Confluence

27 August 2025

Added - Inline Comments

We’ve introduced a brand-new Inline Comments feature in ACNC, making it easier than ever to keep track of feedback on your Confluence pages. With this update, you can quickly view all inline comments on each page in one place, ensuring nothing gets overlooked. Once you’ve addressed a comment, you can easily mark it as resolved, keeping your pages tidy and your collaboration organized.

View inline comments on pages

You can now quickly locate pages with unresolved feedback by using the Open Inline Comments option from the Activity menu. This feature highlights all pages that have open inline comments and shows the number of unresolved comments on each page. With this, you can easily identify which pages need your attention and stay on top of all ongoing discussions without missing anything.

Added - Page Board (Kanban View)

Organizing and tracking your pages just got easier with the new Space Page Board. This feature introduces a visual way to manage your content by displaying your pages in a status-based board. You can now drag and drop pages between statuses, giving you a clear and intuitive overview of where each page stands in your workflow. Whether you’re drafting, reviewing, or finalizing, everything is neatly organized in one place.

Space Kanban view

In addition, you can assign pages to team members. This makes it simple to see who is responsible for what and ensures that collaboration stays smooth and transparent. With the Kanban view, your space becomes more structured, easier to navigate, and better aligned with your team’s way of working.

Improved - Toolbar

We’ve made filtering in ACNC even more compact and intuitive. Now, the most frequently used filters are displayed right up front, giving you quick access without cluttering your view. All filtering options are still available — simply click the More tab to add any additional filters you need. Once you no longer need a filter, just remove it, and it will disappear from your active view. This way, you keep your workspace clean, streamlined, and tailored to the way you work.

New compact filters

Using hidden filters

From now on, restrictions and tree node highlights can be found under the Activity tab. This makes it easier to get a clear overview without switching between different menus. Simply choose the option you need, and the relevant information will be displayed directly in the tree view.

Added - Space Profiles

Introducing Space Profiles in the Space Navigator! You can save up to 3 custom space selections as profiles, each with a name. Set any profile as your default to load your preferred spaces—instead of just starred ones—when navigating with ACNC. Enjoy a more personalized and efficient navigation experience.

You can save up to 3 space profile, from which one can be set as default selection

Added - Quick Navigation - from any page

You can access ACNC instantly from any page using the new Navigate button at the top. A compact control window lets you choose your starting point — from the current page, its parent, the entire space, or any custom location. No need to manually insert ACNC into pages anymore — it's always just a click away!

Open ACNC from anywhere

Improved - Hide completed tasks

You can now toggle the visibility of completed tasks when viewing tasks in a panel. The setting is saved with your view, so your preference sticks next time you open it.

31 March 2025

Added - Page Restrictions

Page restrictions in Confluence can fine-tune who can access or edit some pages. While Space permissions extend these permissions, restrictions are shrinking them. Also View restrictions are inherited by child pages - so you can hide subsets of the content tree when needed. In the end, sometimes it is just hard to understand who can eventually view a page! Support for page restrictions can unveil where restrictions have been applied to the page, so you can quickly detect and act if needed. No more leaking/unreachable pages!

Added - Finding tasks on pages

Find and filter tasks in your context real quick. This new feature lets you filter your open/closed tasks and all open/closed tasks.

Find tasks in pages

Added - Complete task items

When opening the task panel, you can complete task items without navigating away.

Together with the ability to find tasks, you can quickly find & mark them as complete tasks from the ACNC view. This works for every interface, such as macro, space page, or space navigator.

Complete tasks without leaving ACNC

Added - More colors to page statuses

Added many new colors to page statuses. Let's set a custom status with a fitting color to your page!

Use 30 colors for page statuses

Added - Support for Live pages

New page type "Live page" is now officially supported. Note that few features (such as tasks) have a small delay when managing these pages.

Improved - Initial loading speed

Reworked how the app loads when the page loads with ACNC. Formerly, we collected all data and showed when ready, which led to slow loading times in case of bigger spaces (even when only few pages shown in the macro). Now, we have improved this behavior and introduced sequential loading, which is when the app loads the page tree quickly, where you are free to filter by title and open down child pages. Then, it loads the rest of the data, such as statuses, unread pages, tasks and page assignees.

Macro loading speed got noticeable faster, when you use a root page contains less child pages.

Improved - Macro settings page

Atlassian initiated this change by deprecating some tools (UI Kit 1). At the end, the macro settings page appears in a popup, not on the sidebar!

06 August 2024

Added - Support for Whiteboards, Folders, Smart Links, and Databases

As Atlassian recently introduced many new page types (in addition to Page and Blog), Confluence content become way more diverse, with many new potential to collaborate. Whiteboards have been there for almost a year, Databases have been acquired and released a few months later, Smart Links have been out for a few months, and Folders are in beta right now.

With the emergence of these new content types, we added these elements to the page tree to ensure you can stay in complete context while browsing your collaboration space.

Whiteboards, Folders, Smart Links, Databases are in the tree

Added - Filter for Page types

From now the following content types can be filtered in the app:

• Page

• Whiteboard

• Database

• Smart Link

• Folder

Filter for Whiteboards and other page types

Added - Getting started hints to new users

On Space Navigator, we added a new onboarding showcase with visual support and a link to the relevant documentation to help you understand what can be reached with ACNC. The new panel is opened automatically when some unseen content is available; later, it can be opened manually at any time.

Onboarding with a feature showcase

Improved - Page tree UI

We slightly reduced the indentation to make the app more compact horizontally. Now, it is easier to use in spaces with higher page depths.

Improved - Space Navigator user experience

• When using Space Navigator to browse and search for content in multiple spaces, the resulting amount is displayed for every space.

• Filter counters now show better results in edge cases

• When a new space is selected, the filters automatically apply to that

• Added support for changing the Owners

• Fixed a few other small bugs

• Performance has been improved when filtering

24 May 2024

Announcement - Confluence as a Lightweight Project Management tool

By leveraging the new Page Assignee feature alongside the Page Status and Preview features, you can achieve a lightweight Jira-like work management experience while managing pages in Confluence. This can be handy for project-based, temporary, or cross-project teams, where the goal is often to upload content to Confluence, such as marketing campaigns or small project collaborations, without setting up a new project in Jira.

Added - Page Assignee

ACNC has introduced a new term: Page Assignee. Similar to Jira, each page can now have exactly one assignee. The assignee can be viewed and modified in the page tree view. This feature is enabled by default but can be changed and turned off in the macro settings while editing the page and the macro.

Page assignee in the page tree

🧑‍🦱Assignee & Owner

Added - Manage and show Page Owners

Page Owners can be shown and changed in the page tree view. This feature is disabled by default and can be turned on alone or together with the page assignee in the macro settings while editing the page.

Assignee & Owner turned on simultaneously

Only the current Owner, Confluence, and space admins can transfer ownership of your page to another user.

Read more about the Owner on this page:

🧑‍🦱Assignee & Owner

Added - Refresh macro

When you keep your page open in Confluence (with ACNC inserted), sometimes you need to refresh the page to load newly created pages and updates made by others. From now on, you can refresh the macro data only. This will save you time and prevent you from losing focus.

Improved - Filtering

Added the following small, Quality of Life improvements to Filtering

• Assignee & Page Owner is added as filtering criteria

• The selected filter option can be unselected by clicking on it again (also clear button works)

• Open-ended dates are available; it is possible to select only from or to dates to find pages before or after a specific time

• When filters are cleared, the latest saved tree state is loaded (no unnecessary pages opened)

• Filter bar state (opened/closed) is saved

Improved - Save View behavior

From now on, you can save a view when you are the Page Owner or Space Administrator where the macro is inserted.

9 May 2024

Added - Filtering - a new era in searching pages

Advanced filtering feature available on every screen: macro, space page, and modal.

With Filtering, you can quickly search for or hide unwanted pages. Filter by

• Page title

• Changes (updated or unread)

• Created date

• Last updated date

• Page status

Filter pages, save the filters

The filtered tree can be saved to create a customized view of your page tree.

Announcement - Major Performance improvement for bigger spaces

Last year, we focused on features a lot; now it was time to focus on performance! The team has implemented several improvements under the hood, which caused major improvements in user experience and resulted a way faster loading speed. This can be noticed especially when loading spaces with over a hundred, or even thousand pages.

Better performance can be observed at the loading time of

As Atlassian made it possible, we added the app logo and category for every location.

Since Dark theme came out, and its popularity increasing, we added support for Dark theme! Just like that!

Support for Dark Theme

Added - Preview page

When browsing pages, why not peeking them VERY quickly? Our preview provide lighning fast solution to preview pages side-by-side on the Space page. With all the speed the lack of completeness is coming in pairs: some content like emoticons, macros, attachments are not loaded completely. If you need the full content, just open the page (and stop calling it a Preview)!

Preview a page really quickly

Added - Space analytics

On the Space page, new space level analytics has been added. It includes:

• Page count, Attachment count

• Number of Pages created

• Top creators

Improved - Better performance everywhere

The macro literally even more fast paced than before! Especially page tree and breadcrumbs.

Improved - Pages under whiteboards

Sadly, pages under whiteboards are not accessible in the tree for now, because of API issues. So we gathered these pages in a separated section under the tree. Who creates pages under whiteboards anyways?
