Confluence generates its own RSS feeds for tracking updates to content within Confluence. You will need an RSS newsreader to subscribe to them.

To subscribe to RSS feeds within Confluence,

  1. Click on the 'Browse Space' link for the space. This is located at the the top of every page and beside the space link on the dashboard.

  2. Go to the 'Advanced' tab and click on 'RSS Feeds'.

  3. Copy and paste the link for one of the following feeds into your RSS newsreader:
    • New pages
    • Updated pages
    • New comments
    • New news posts

To have your newsreader log into Confluence, you can append ?os_username=yourusername&os_password=yourpassword to the URL of the feed you are trying to retrieve. Note, however, that this means someone with access to your RSS newsreader configuration can read your password.
