Collaborative Editing in Confluence

Edit the same Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files together in real time directly inside Confluence, without downloads, reuploads, or version conflicts, so multiple users can work on the same document at the same time instead of sending files back and forth.

Why real-time collaboration breaks in Confluence

  • Only one person can edit at a time

  • Files become email attachments or downloads

  • Teams overwrite each other’s work

  • Versions drift across copies

  • Feedback is scattered and hard to track

Edit together on live documents inside Confluence

  • Multiple users edit at the same time

  • One shared version for everyone

  • Changes appear instantly as teammates work

  • All collaboration stays in context on the page

Real-time Office co-editing inside Confluence and Jira

  • Co-edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files together

  • See changes instantly as others work

  • Comment and review directly in the document

  • Save automatically without downloads or reuploads

  • Work in Confluence pages and Jira issues

Collaborative editing supports Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OpenOffice documents.
