The network feature helps you keep track of what other users are doing throughout your Confluence site, by allowing you to 'follow' their recent activities. Unlike Confluence's traditional content tracking features, which provide notifications on specified types of content updates made by any user, the network feature provides notifications on updates made by specific users that you choose to follow. The types of activities tracked by the network feature, include:

To start tracking another Confluence user's activities, you need to 'follow' them. See below for instructions. Once you are following a user, you can see their activity in a number of ways:

  • Your network view: Your 'network' view shows all the tracked activities that you have permission to view for all the users that you are following. In the same way, people who follow you will be able to see all your Confluence-based activities on their network views, provided they have permission to view the content. See below for instructions on accessing your network view.
  • RSS feeds: You can subscribe to any Confluence user's network RSS feed and receive summaries on the activities of other users they are following in their network. See Subscribing to a Network RSS Feed.
  • Email notifications: You can request email notifications of any activity in your network. See Subscribing to Email Notifications.
