Get actionable space and site-level insights with mission control

Depending on if you’re a product admin or space admin, you’ll have to manage your Confluence site and /or spaces. Product admins manage the overall Confluence site, which is organized into spaces. Space admins manage spaces, which are collections of related pages that you and other people in your team or organization work on together. 

Have you ever wondered who has admin access to your Confluence site and if they should? Or if the content in your spaces is effectively addressing your team's key questions? Without advanced admin tools, even the best knowledge-sharing systems can become chaotic and ineffective as teams and data expand.  

With mission control in Confluence Premium, admins can now get access to actionable insights and manage their site and space health better than ever before.

What is mission control?


Mission control is a dedicated workspace for Confluence admins to manage their sites and spaces efficiently and proactively. It consolidates alerts, admin tools, and actionable insights into one centralized location. 

With this feature, admins have a single, easily accessible dashboard for top admin tools and comprehensive site and space-level insights. For example, you can identify how many spaces you have across your site and which spaces have the most inactive content. This helps admins make data-informed decisions to take the best course of action to maintain site health. 

This centralized view enables admins to make data-driven decisions and take appropriate actions to maintain overall site, space, and content health, such as: 

  • Assess stale content: Use the leaderboard to identify spaces with many inactive pages and decide what to remove or refresh.
  • Develop new content: Review commonly searched terms with no results or clicks to plan and create content that meets team needs.
  • Reassign page owners: Identify spaces with deactivated page owners, such as former employees, and assign new owners to maintain workflows.
  • Highlight popular content: Use trending search terms to communicate team needs to stakeholders and keep relevant content up-to-date.
  • Address search spikes: Collaborate with the appropriate department or space admin to address increases in search topics or content usage.


By accessing usage and content insights over specified periods, admins can explore patterns and trends, such as peak usage times and popular content. These insights allow admins to optimize their content strategy, allocate resources effectively, and enhance collaboration. The ability to track engagement metrics and activity trends enables proactive management of content, ensuring that existing pages remain relevant and valuable to the team.
