Release Notes

What's new for Advanced Content Navigator for Confluence

PreviousQuick startNextUsing ACNC

Last updated 25 days ago

23 April 2025

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.

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!

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

Read more about Restrictions here:

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.

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.

Read more about the new Tasks feature here:

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!

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

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.

Added - Filter for Page types

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

  • Page

  • Whiteboard

  • Database

  • Smart Link

  • Folder

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.

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

28 June 2024

Added - Space Navigator

A new screen is available from the top bar (inside the Apps menu), where you can filter and overview multiple spaces together. Starred spaces are selected by default, but spaces can be removed and added. Waiting for your feedback on this!

Added - News & Feedback

A new integration is available on every screen, where you can read the latest improvements and send us feedback! Please use it since our team can't wait to improve the app as it is best for you!

Added - Filter by Label

A new filtering option, Label, has been added. Mark your pages, and you can quickly find them in the page tree!

Improved - Unread highlighting in the version history panel

When the version history panel is opened, unread pages are marked with bold to make it easier detect when you last visited the page.

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.

Read more about Assignee on this page:

Added - Manage and show Page Owners

Read more about the Owner on this page:

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

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

25 April 20241

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

  • Macro tree

  • Page Statuses

  • Unread changes

  • Page Emojis

  • Preview

Added - App icon when inserting/editing the macro

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

27 October 2023

Added - Preview page available from macro

Open a page preview from the macro, not only from the space page. Preview is a quick way to peek into a page, while not rendering all the images, macros, etc. To open a page in new tab, click on page title in the macro or the popup.

Added - Change parent for pages in space page

Page parents can be changed by drag'n dropping the page on a new parent.

Added - Rename page action

Quickly rename a page from the macro or space page.

Added - Create child page action

Create a child page from the macro tree. So that you won't need to leave the page you working on.

Improved - Expand / Collapse on space root

Added the Expand / Collapse feature to the space root on the space page. Now you can open your whole page tree with a single click!

Improved - Modal improvements

When opening a modal from the content menu (...) on any page, it is now prettier, and easier to close!

3 October 2023

Announcement - New UI & many new features

The 3 major things we changed in the new UI:

  • The complete UI is refreshed

  • The Unread changes feature can be triggered with a button, and marked with purple

  • Prettier loading animations added

Added - Dark Theme support

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

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)!

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

Added - Tasks panel

Managing tasks in Confluence? Use the task panel to show tasks on the pages.

Added - Macro Title

Macro header can be added in the edit menu. To make your work meaningful.

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?


4 September 2023

Announcement - Macro settings

Additional settings available for all ACNC macros. Macros can be edited in Edit page mode, by clicking on the edit button

Announcement - Space page

ACNC can be opened from the space sidebar, where the root element will be the Space itself. No need to insert the macro, reach any time.

Announcement - Action menu, keyboard shortcut

Added - Change content's root page

Macro's content location is configurable from the macro settings. Select Parent space & Parent page, to make your macro display any starting location for your data. Multiple macros can be inserted to a single page, to help you creating actually useful Dashboard! Macro location can also be shown.

Added - Remember macro state for every user

Macro's state (page tree & opened panels) can be saved by space administrators and page owners on the macro header. This is pretty useful when an experienced user want to prepare the starting state of the documentation for the end users.

Added - Expand / Collapse all to every page

Subpages can be bulk opened and closed in depth.

Improved - 1st tree level opens by default

When a new macro inserted, the new default view includes the 1st child level opened. Note that default view can be overwritten by space admins and page owners.

Improved - Headings renamed to Table of Contents

By popular demand, Headins menu has been renamed to Table of Contents.

Improved - Major performance improvement

Improved - Unsupported emojis

Badly formatted emojies are removed from Table of Contents.

Added - New and improved logging

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!

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. have been there for almost a year, have been acquired and released a few months later, have been out for a few months, and are in beta right now.

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.

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

In the last few weeks the team forged () a lot with the app, to improve performance, extend functionality and make it easier to use - based on your feedback (thanks for everyone who contributed)!

ACNC can be opened from the action menu by pressing top right, and select Advanced Children Display. This page can be opened on any page, without editing or inserting the macro, and content will root from current page.

ACNC in a modal can be opened not just from the Actions menu, but with the shortcut of Shift + ACNC (Hold shift + type acnc). At least we think it is funny

Major code change happend under the hood which improved loading performance, especially in case of bigger space (1000+ pages). The expected performance improvement is around 70-80%, so the macro is actually pretty fast now

We beleive the current and upcoming versions of ACNC (Advanced Content Navigator for Confluence) adds so many features to Confluence, so it become a real productive daily companion app for every day users. As we invest significant time and money into new features, we introduced a for this app. Stay tuned for new releases and features.

We committed to deliver many new features to Advanced Content Navigator for Confluence. Our team fine tuned many things under the hood, to prepare our soon to coming major releases, with many new features. Stay tuned!

Your data is yours. But you can share your app logs with us, which helps our development team to decide which feature is more popular, and which should be improved. We won't for a long time, and you can your app logging any time. We only log usage statistics (eg.: which feature you use in our app), no personal and content related data (no space content or similar).
