What it is

New feature

Access links let you grant site-wide or public access to specific published pages, live docs, and whiteboards. Admins turn the feature on in Confluence administration before anyone can create links.

Users

Users can select Share, create an access link, set it to App or Public, choose Can view, Can view and comment, or Can edit, and copy the link.

Admins

Admins enable App access links, Public access links, or both under Security, then Access links, and choose whether links are on, off, or blocked in all spaces to start.

Written from Atlassian's release note and checked against it automatically. Atlassian's original stays the source of truth.

Before it lands
