Planning for the New Editor in Confluence 4.0

With the release of Confluence 4.0, currently planned for early 2011, we will introduce a new editor. See the Confluence 4.0 editor FAQ.

Helping You to Manage the Change to the New Editor

When the Confluence 4.0 release date is closer, we will provide a detailed change management guide to help you with the transition from the earlier editor to the new editor. The change management guide will include:

• A quick-reference guide describing the changes and telling you how to carry out the tasks you need. The format will be along the lines of 'what you did before' and 'what to do now'.
• Details of the Confluence 4.0 Beta programme and links to the beta release notes as they become available.
• A link to a sandbox installation of Confluence 4.0 Beta, where you will be able to try out the new editor.
• A downloadable poster and quick-reference guides, in PDF form, that you will be able to print and distribute to your team.

It is still too early to produce the above guides and information. However, people are already asking important questions, which we will answer as soon as we can and in as much detail as is available.

In the meantime, please refer to the Confluence 4.0 editor FAQ and the developer's guide to preparing for Confluence 4.0.
