Each space in Confluence can publish its own news. News items may be announcements, journal entries, status reports or any other timely information you would categorise as 'news' pertaining to a space. News items are also known as 'blog posts'. News items for a space are contained in the 'News' tab under the Browse Space view of a space. Confluence catalogues the news items chronologically and allows you to browse news for the space by navigating a calendar. Creating and editing a news item is just as easy as creating and editing any other page in Confluence. What would you like to do?

I presumed you meant to say that, you do not want to view the full content of each posting news in Confluence. If this is the case, the workaround that i can think of is, the excerpt-include macro. You may want to give it a try and see if it does fulfill your requirement. An example would be:
{blog-posts:content=excerpts-include}Hope the information does help.

I'm loath to try to modify the underlying page (which I suspect will work) and was looking for a better way to control this.
thanks

The best way to add your support for a feature request is to vote for the JIRA issue. We're delighted to receive suggestions for the documentation via comments on these pages, but they don't have much influence on the development of new or improved features in Confluence
Cheers

I was wondering if there was a way to show the top 5 items of news on a page from another space.
We have a page with the full list of items, but another page provides an overview of all spaces. In the overview page, I want to (not just link), but show the excerpts of top 3 news items.
Is there a way of doing this?
Thanks.
