What it does

News Board adds a branded news experience to Confluence Cloud through a news page, macros, and space-theme options. It features content from across Confluence, including images, text excerpts, announcements, and employee recognition. The page and global navigation links can be renamed, with custom colors, a banner, and light or dark modes available. Pages and blog posts can become Confluence-wide pop-up alerts that users can hide temporarily and receive reminders about until they read them.
