FAQ pages are one of the most visited sections of any documentation site. In Confluence, they serve a specific purpose: giving your team or customers quick answers to the questions they ask most often, without making them read through pages of documentation. A well-structured FAQ page reduces repetitive questions in Slack channels, shortens onboarding time for new team members, and deflects support tickets before they are created.

But Confluence does not have a built-in FAQ feature. Teams typically resort to manual workarounds — tables, toggle macros, or expand sections — that look cluttered and are hard to maintain. This guide shows you three methods to create professional FAQ pages in Confluence, from a quick manual setup to a fully featured FAQ macro.

Announcement banners are the most visible communication channel in Atlassian products. They sit at the top of every page, impossible to miss. When you need to notify your entire organization about a maintenance window, a security alert, a policy change, or an upcoming event, banners guarantee visibility in a way that emails and Slack messages cannot.

Both Confluence and Jira support announcement banners, but their native implementations are limited. This guide covers how to set up banners in both platforms using built-in features and marketplace apps, with practical tips for getting the most out of them.

Developer teams use Confluence differently than marketing or HR. You document APIs, share architecture diagrams, write runbooks, and collaborate on code reviews. The default Confluence editor works, but it wasn't built for technical documentation.

This guide covers the best Confluence apps for developers in 2026, organized by use case. We built several of these apps at NGPILOT, so we'll be transparent about where our apps fit and where competitors offer better solutions.

Confluence uses a system font stack that looks different on every operating system. You can't change the default font globally, and Confluence offers no built-in way to use custom fonts on individual pages. This guide shows what font Confluence uses and how to add custom fonts.

Need diagram tools for Confluence without paying for a large team? NGPILOT's three diagramming apps — Mermaid Plus, Excalidraw Plus, and Graphviz Charts — are all free for up to 10 users. This guide compares them so you can pick the right free diagram plugin for your Confluence.

Displaying JSON data in Confluence pages is painful with the native code block macro — raw JSON is hard to read, especially large API responses or configuration files. JSON Structure Viewer for Confluence transforms raw JSON into an interactive visual tree that you can explore, zoom, and rotate.

Confluence is great for documentation, but it lacks built-in tools for Q&A sections. If you need FAQ pages, knowledge bases, or community-style Q&A in Confluence, NGPILOT offers two purpose-built apps.

Many teams have documentation in Markdown format (GitHub READMEs, API docs, developer guides) and need to bring it into Confluence. Confluence doesn't have a native Markdown import feature, but there are three ways to get Markdown content into Confluence pages.

Confluence's built-in code block macro is limited — it supports roughly 30 languages, has no dark theme, and lacks basic features like copy buttons and collapsible sections. If your team writes documentation with code snippets, you need something better.

This guide shows how to add a VS Code-grade code editor to Confluence with syntax highlighting for 85+ languages, automatic dark/light theme detection, and one-click copy buttons.

Adding diagrams to Confluence pages helps teams communicate architecture, processes, and workflows visually. This guide covers the three main approaches to creating diagrams in Confluence and helps you choose the right tool for your needs.
