One of the main Addons I think everyone should have when using confluence. In fact - I also think that confluence greatly benefits from this Addon, I used draw.io standalone in the past because we did not had confluence and we decided to buy confluence to be able to use draw.io and a very nice wiki implementation next to each other. I think draw.io (or similar) should be native to confluence!

2. Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence

2025 Update: The 13.0.0  release (Mar 4, 2025) introduced a new macro browser UI that's more intuitive to use, and results in slicker designs. Check it out!

Table Filter, Charts and Spreadsheets for Confluence enhances the native Confluence table and chart functionality.  This app turns Confluence into an advanced spreadsheet and charting tool similar to Excel.  It also adds advanced filtering functionality and much more.  Additional features include:

• Filter and sort tables dynamically.
• Create charts from existing tables.
• Pivot table for grouping and calculating values.

One of the best apps I know! Enhances the functionality of confluence in a great way. The combination of "Table Transformer", "Table from JSON" and "Table Excerpt Include" helps us a lot in organizing our daily work. 10/4 Stars ;) Another compliment for great support, as well as, already written below, for Stiltsoft being one of the vendors who listens to the needs of its customers, another 10 stars.

This app was instrumental in cleaning up our Confluence instance. We had a need to add a wider audience to our Confluence but the lack of content management made that troublesome. This app assisted us greatly in cleaning up clear text credentials so that we could grant broader access without compromising security.

Scroll Documents tackles the challenges and issues from both the editorial angle as well as the information management angle. From its solution's architecture, to incredibly responsive support (more like advice than support as we never experienced any issues), to continuous improvement and an eye for identifying features that make a tangible difference, it is more than clear that the K15t team has crafted a product that caters not only to the final output of creating documentation, but have a smooth, maintainable, and flexible operation throughout the entire editorial workflow. There is a definitely a before and after its introduction within our team. Versionable, organized, reviewable documentation made easy. I would go so far as to say that any person in a documentation/information management role should take the time to try it out. Thank you K15t!

We've improved our internal docs with Optics. We used announcements for our change log so everyone easily sees what's new.

I've been using the CLI for years and it's essential in my publishing process—copying pages from a 'draft' space to a public-facing one. Support for the app is great too—quick and helpful responses mean I'm back up and running soon after I encounter an issue.
