Confluence 4.0 Editor - What's Changed for Wiki Markup Users

This page is a DRAFT and is visible to Atlassian staff only. We will publish it sometime before the release of Confluence 4.0, when we have enough verified content to be useful.

Hints to Get You Started Quickly

1. Learn the shortcut keys. Click the help icon on the editor toolbar to see a list of shortcut keys. Read more about shortcut keys.
2. Enter wiki markup. The editor's autocomplete function will convert it as you type. Read more about autocomplete.

Functionality that is No Longer Available

There are a few things you can no longer do in the Confluence 4.0 editor, that were possible using wiki markup in Confluence 3.5 and earlier.

Note: Development of Confluence 4.0 is ongoing! It is possible that some of the items below will be available in the final version of Confluence 4.0. We will update this list whenever things change.

Things you cannot do in Confluence 4.0:

1. Copy the source of a page from a Confluence 4.0 site. There is no way to copy the XHTML source code. Also, if you do not have edit permission on a page, you cannot view or copy the rich text source of the page.
2. Remove sections and columns but leave the content in place. Removing the section/column formatting also removes the content. You need to copy or cut the content, paste it to the new location, then remove the sections and columns.
3. Specify an image size in pixels or percentages. The image properties panel offers the following options for image size: small, medium, large and original size.
4. Edit a page in Microsoft Word. See FAQ entry.
5. Link to anchors xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. TBC.
