Filter your search by space category
If you have a large Confluence site, space categories are a great way to group related spaces together, keeping them organised and easy to browse in the space directory.
Now, you can also use space categories as a search filter, allowing you to limit your results to a group of related spaces. Simply select the space category filter on the left-side of the search panel, start typing a keyword, then choose from the list of possible matches.
You can categorize spaces by team, department, office location, or even a particular subject area — whatever works for your organization. For example, if your Product Design department works on projects spread across multiple spaces, you could label each space with 'product-design' to create a department category.
Don't have any space categories yet? It's quick and easy to create them. Learn more
Import with confidence
We've added some information to the Backup and Restore screen to help admins prevent common problems, such as accidentally kicking off a full site reindex during a peak time, or locking themselves out after a site import.
The way export and import works hasn't changed, we've just updated the screen to make it easier to understand.
