🆕Release Notes

What's new for Advanced Content Navigator for Confluence

25 April 2024

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

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)!

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

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 ☺️

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

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 🚀

Improved - Unsupported emojis

Badly formatted emojies are removed from Table of Contents.

We only log usage statistics (eg.: which feature you use in our app), no personal and content related data (no space content or similar).
