A cleaner response view from the homepage & performance upgrade

We made some slight visual improvements to the response table view, making reviewing your responses via the homepage cleaner and easier to interpret. We also fixed some bugs and improved the overall performance of the app for a quicker and more responsive experience.

May 2023

In this exciting new update, we've opened up the forms permissions model - allowing for a more open and user-friendly experience - and introduced a new homepage. Our new homepage brings all your forms and administration tasks together in one centralized hub. It ties together nicely with the permissions change to simplify using forms within your organization, unlocking huge collaboration and data collection potential.

Get Started easier than ever!

First-time users will find it easier than ever to begin with Forms for Confluence. Please take a look at our Create Your First Form page to preview the new process.

October 2022

New and improved Form Builder

It's easier than ever to get started creating a form. Use the /Forms shortcut to begin building your form right from the page.

The Form Builder opens when a form is added to a page. The new design now allows for forms to be created and edited from a single place.

Once a valid Form ID has been added in the Form Builder, fields (now named questions) are added in the same window.

Edit and reorder the questions you add, if needed, without leaving the builder.

This inclusive design is more intuitive and simpler to use (lightbulb)

July 2022

Administration in Forms has never been easier

The process of creating Form IDs and starting to gather data for your project has been improved. Now, clicking Forms for Confluence from your space at any time opens the Forms Administration page. The Forms Administration page lists all Form IDs that exist in the space, with relevant details and actions.
It's also the place to start the improved journey for creating a new Form ID. Simply click Create Form ID from the Forms Administration page to be guided through creating a new ID and using it to create a form on a page.

Forms CCMA is here

The Forms Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant (CCMA) is now integrated into Forms for Confluence Cloud. The Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant, or CCMA, is designed to make transferring a Confluence On-Prem instance to Cloud as easy and seamless as possible. CCMA is an Atlassian app that assists users in moving Spaces and Pages.

It is recommended to use CCMA when:

  • Evaluating your applications before migrating from Confluence Server or Data Center to Confluence Cloud.
  • Performing a trial migration from Confluence Server or Data Center to Confluence Cloud.
