What it is

Experiment

Confluence is testing simplified global and contextual create menus for some people. The global menu lists five common content types first and puts the rest under More. The contextual menu in the page tree drops a few options. The experience may change or be reverted.

Users

People in the experiment see Live Doc, Page, Whiteboard, Database and Slides first in the Create menu, with Blog, Smart Link, Folder, Space, Loom video and Agent under More.

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

Before it lands

Tell your teams that some people may see a different Create menu.
Point people to Create in the top navigation, under More, to make an agent or a Loom video.
