Displaying questions from all spaces

10 Sep 2021 By Łukasz Wiatrak

In this major release, we are giving you the ability to see all questions from all spaces on a single page! You will see this aggregated view when opening questions from Confluence top bar navigation.

The screenshot below presents this new, aggregated view (notice that questions are now from different spaces):

You can get back to the previous global questions view by disabling the aggregated view in global settings.
