Configure live editing in Confluence

What is live editing in Confluence?

Live editing is a dynamic, efficient, and collaborative way of creating and sharing pages in Confluence.

With live editing, you can create frictionless pages that can be updated and collaborated on instantly. Any changes made to your page are automatically saved and reflected to all viewers in real time.

How do I turn live editing on or off for my Confluence instance?

To use the live editing feature in Confluence, you’ll need to have it turned on for your site. Live editing can only be turned on or off as the default page experience for an entire instance.

1. Select the wheel icon () in the top-right corner to open Confluence administration.

2. Find Settings > Configuration in the left-hand navigation.

3. Select Live editing. Live editing can be turned on or off (and on again, if need be) anytime with a simple click and confirmation.

Note: Turning off live editing will automatically publish any live-edit pages created while it was on.
