Fresh terminology for automation rules and components

An automation ‘rule’ is now a ‘flow', and a ‘component’ is now a 'step’. You may notice some inconsistencies in the documentation while we make this change. Read more about the updates in Automation

Create and edit databases

Databases aren’t available in the Atlassian Government environment.

What is a Confluence database?

Databases in Confluence allow you to store structured data in a native format. Databases are similar to pages and other content types. They live in the content tree, can be searched and linked, and have permissions set at the space level.

A database organizes content into fields and entries:

  • Fields define the structure and are shown as columns. They describe the data type, like text, numbers, or dates.

  • Entries make up the content and are shown as rows. Each entry represents a set of values stored in the fields.

With databases, you can connect and organize structured data like customer IDs and unstructured data like meeting notes and images. This makes them a powerful way to bring all your content together in one place or even within your other Confluence pages and content.
