What It Does

The Activity Stream macro shows recent page activity from a selected Confluence space. Each entry displays the page name, the user who last modified it, and how long ago the change was made - grouped by user avatar. You set a title, choose the space, and set a limit on how many items to show.

How to Set It Up

  1. Insert the Activity Stream macro on your page
  2. Enter a Title - this appears as the heading above the activity list (e.g. "Recent Activity")
  3. Select the Space from the dropdown - the macro shows activity from that space
  4. Enter a Limit - the number of recent page entries to display
  5. Publish the page

What It Shows

The macro renders a list of recently modified pages from the selected space. Each entry shows:

  • Page name - clickable link to the page
  • User name - the person who last modified the page
  • Time ago - how long ago the page was last changed (e.g. 14 days ago, 58 days ago)

Entries are grouped under the user's avatar, so you can see at a glance which user was responsible for which recent changes.

Common Use Cases

  • Space home page: Show the team which pages have been updated recently in the space
  • Team hub: Display recent page changes from the team's space so members can follow what's being worked on

Behavior Notes
