Displays a list of recently changed content (pages, news items, comments, etc).

 

The Recently Updated macro displays a list of the most recently changed content within Confluence.

(info) The Recently Updated Dashboard macro is similar to this macro, but is intended for display on the Confluence dashboard.

Using the Recently Updated Macro

To add the Recently Updated macro to a page:

Parameters

Parameter

Default

Description

Author(s) by username

None specified i.e. display all content

Filter the results by author. The macro will display only the pages etc which were last modified by the author(s) you specify here.

You can specify one or more authors, separated by a comma or a space.

Space(s)

@self, i.e. the space which contains the page on which the macro is used

This parameter allows you to filter content by space. The macro will display only the pages etc which belong to the space(s) you specify here.

You can specify one or more space keys, separated by a comma or a space.

Special values:

Label(s)

None specified i.e. display all content

Filter the results by label. The macro will display only the pages etc which are tagged with the label(s) you specify here.

You can specify one or more label values, separated by a comma or a space.

(info) If there are no pages matching any of the specified labels, then Confluence will ignore the labels and will list all recently updated pages, as well as showing a message, "These labels don't exist and were ignored: xxx ". This unexpected behaviour is noted in issue CONF-10167.

Width of Table

100%

Specify the width of the macro display, as a percentage of the window width.

Include these Content Types Only

all types

This parameter allows you to filter content by content type. The macro will display only the content of the type you specify here.

You can specify one or more types, separated by a comma or a space.

Available values:

Maximum Number of Results

15

Specify the maximum number of results to be displayed. If this parameter is omitted, then a maximum of 15 results are displayed. The theoretical maximum value that this parameter can accept is 2 to the power of 31, minus 1 (or 2147483647), though this has been limited to 200 in the code, for performance reasons. More details are here.

theme

'concise' with the heading 'Recently Updated'

Choose the appearance of this macro:

  • concise — the default list, showing the names of pages which were updated or commented on, the users who made the page modifications and time when the modifications occurred.
  • social — lists recent modifications in reverse chronological order, but groups them by user into short time segments. A 'sub' list appears within each user's time segment, showing the names of pages which they updated or commented on and time when these modifications occurred.
  • sidebar — lists recent updates in reverse chronological order, showing the names of pages which were updated or commented on and time when the page modifications occurred. This theme does not show authorship.

Show User Profile Pictures

false

Specify showProfilePic=true to display the profile pictures of the users who updated the content.

If you would like to change the wording displayed by the Recently Updated macro, please refer to the document on modifying the Confluence interface text.
