The most obvious change is a redesign of the user interface. The old tabs and links have been moved to the upper right and are now use drop-down menus to de-clutter things a bit.

You can learn more about the change on these pages:

There are a couple other changes which might be of interest. For instance you can now manually reorder the way page lists are displayed. There is also a much improved task list for helping your team keep track of todo items.

All the changes are detailed on the Confluence 2.8 Release Notes page.

If you have any questions about the changes, please let us know.

This web based software allows Thayer groups to collaborate and share information in new ways.

It can take some time to wrap your head around how wikis work, so some folks put together a short entertaining video that explains the basics. Take a look, and if you’d like us to set up a wiki for you, please go here for more information.
