More About User Status Updates

There are numerous activity streams throughout Confluence that show different types of User Status updates. These include:

• The Recently Updated list on the Confluence Dashboard, which shows all status updates (when the 'All' tab is selected).
• Your Network page, which shows the status updates of Confluence users you are following.
• The Network page of Confluence users who are following you, which shows your status updates.
• The Recently Updated and Recently Updated Dashboard macros, which shows all status updates (provided that these macros' space parameters have been set to '@all').
• Any Confluence user's Activity section of their Profile Sidebar, which is available on all pages within their personal space and shows their status updates.

While activity streams show recent User Status updates, they may soon disappear from the end of the list as subsequent user activity items appear on these streams. However, you can view any Confluence user's current User Status message in the following areas:

• Their Hover Profile.
• The Profile section of their Profile Sidebar, which is available on all pages within their personal space.
• Their Profile page.

You can also view any Confluence user's entire history of User Status updates in their Status Updates page.
