Edit content offline

You can keep editing Confluence pages, live docs, and blog posts even if your internet connection drops. When you go offline, Confluence preserves your changes locally and syncs them when you’re back online.

What you can do offline

When you're offline and you’re editing a page, live doc, or blog post, you can:

• Continue typing and editing text.

• Format content (headings, bold, italics, and lists, for example).

• Add and edit most basic elements that don't require a network connection.

Offline editing currently supports:

• Editing existing pages, live docs, and blogs posts that were opened while you were online.

• Viewing content that was open while you were online (offline view).

• Automatically syncing your changes when your connection returns.

Offline editing does not currently support:

• Creating new content items while offline.

• Using features that require an immediate network connection (for example, creating with Rovo, AI writing tools, some macros, integrations, or external media).

Syncing when you’re back online

When you lose your internet connection while editing:

• Your changes are saved locally in your browser or app.

• You can continue editing the page without losing your work.

• When your connection comes back, Confluence automatically syncs your offline changes.

If someone else edited the same content item while you were offline:

• Confluence automatically merges as many changes as possible.

• If there are conflicting edits to the same part of the page, Confluence highlights those conflicts for you to review.

Resolve conflicts after editing offline

If someone else edited the content item while you were offline, you may see a message indicating there are conflicting changes.

To resolve conflicts:

1. Look for the conflict notification in the editor after you come back online.

2. Review the highlighted areas that contain conflicting changes.

3. Decide whether to keep your offline edits, the online version, or manually combine them.

4. Select the appropriate option to apply your decision.

Offline data is stored for a limited time. We recommend syncing your changes online and resolving conflicts promptly to avoid any data loss. Some browsers, like Safari, automatically clear offline data after seven days. Atlassian will clear your data after 30 days.
