Changelog

How updates reach you

Pulse updates itself through Atlassian Forge. There is nothing to download or install.

Minor updates, fixes and improvements that need no new permission, reach your site by themselves.
A major update asks for new permissions. Pulse rolls it out so that your site gets the new version at once and keeps working; only the parts that need the new permissions wait until a site admin approves them in Atlassian Administration, under Connected apps.

Current release: version 7.

Version 7: Pulse, redrawn

October 2026 · the three changes Pulse can make need an admin’s approval

Pulse moves from a dashboard you visit to help where the work happens: in the editor while a page is written, on the page while it is read, and in a short list for every person.

New

A coach in the editor. One line above the page shows the score after you publish, the next step with its points, and a heartbeat with the next check of your draft. Make the change and the line confirms it a few seconds later. Open it for the whole list. Once the page is Healthy with nothing left to fix, Pulse stops asking. Live docs get one number. Details
A receipt after you publish, with the score before and after and what changed.
Page vitals, from Page Health under every page title or Fix with Pulse in the page menu (alt+shift+f): both scores part by part, what to do next, the review date, readers and similar pages. Details
Still correct and review dates. Confirm that a page is right as it is; every page gets a review date from its space’s review interval.
Three changes made as you, after you confirm them: Apply a fix (replace a placeholder, or remove links to pages in the trash, with an undo for 10 minutes), the label needs-review, and a comment that mentions the page owner. Details
Help for readers. One line when a page may mislead, with a way out; This looks wrong sends the owner a note without the reader’s name; the owner and last editor get an invitation to fix the page and a review check. Details
For you on the Pulse page (alt+shift+p) and a section on Confluence Home: the pages you own or edited last that need you, with one reason and one action each, and runs of three pages. Details
A space report in every space, with the pages to fix first, causes, every page and whether the space is ready for an AI agent. Details
Site and Clean up: your whole Confluence as you can see it, and the pages that cover the same topic or could be archived. Details
Get started for admins, with what authors will see and the first read of the site. Pulse reads the site by itself; nobody has to start a scan.
Pulse settings: the site policy, coach defaults and the review interval. Space settings for space admins: a review interval per space, and on Advanced a policy per space.
The Pulse macro, with the page’s verification inside the page. Details
The similar meaning check (Advanced) while you write and in Clean up, on Atlassian’s Forge LLMs, sending titles only.

Changed

Every number is counted for the person looking at it, over the pages that person can open. There is no site total over pages someone cannot see, for anyone, an admin included.
Links are checked as you. A link that does not open for you costs points on your view of the page, and only a link Confluence shows you in the trash is called deleted. Details
Content policies have seven rules with targets and weights from 0 to 30, and show their effect before you save. Details

Removed

The Pulse dashboard, with its site averages, its tabs and its settings window. For you, the space report, Site and Pulse settings take its place.
Scan trends. The scan history is no longer shown. Site shows the pages that entered and left Healthy each week, once Pulse’s weekly check has run.

Permissions

This release asks for five new permissions. Four allow the three changes above: write:page:confluence, write:label:confluence, read:label:confluence and write:comment:confluence. The fifth, read:content.metadata:confluence, is requested in advance for a planned feature and is not used by this version. Until a site admin approves them, Pulse runs the new version with the three changes locked. See Install.

Privacy

Pulse keeps its data in your site’s Forge database, in your site’s location. It stores people as keyed hashes, never names; names are looked up by each person’s own browser. Its analytics carry your site’s id and fixed values only. See the privacy policy.

1.1.0 - Duplicate Detection & Editions

Release date: June 2026

Features

Duplicate Detection - the page banner now warns about existing pages that appear to have similar content, with links, so authors can merge instead of fork. Included in every edition. Details →
AI semantic duplicate detection (Advanced edition) - powered by Atlassian Forge AI, spots pages with similar content even when worded differently (e.g. “Onboarding” vs “Getting Started”). Runs inside Atlassian’s platform - no third-party AI providers.
Editions - Pulse is now available in two Marketplace editions: Standard and Advanced. Standard remains the complete content-health product; Advanced adds AI semantic duplicate detection. Comparison →
Unified page banner - health, AI-readiness, content-policy compliance, recommendations, and duplicate warnings now live in a single banner.

Security

Extensive security hardening across all backend resolvers: stricter access control honoring each viewer’s space permissions, per-user rate limiting, input validation, and usage caps on AI features.

Release date: TBD

The first public release on the Atlassian Marketplace.
