Confluence

Best Practices (2025)

• Use "Page Properties": Metadata for pages that can be queried in a "Page Properties Report".
• Use Templates: Standardize "Post Mortem" or "RFC" docs.
• Comment Inline: Highlight text to comment contextually.

• Don't let it rot: Assign "Owners" to pages to ensure freshness.
