Confluence Navigation Changed: How to Restore Structure After Atlassian’s New Menu Update?
Flexible Space Navigation:
The Smartest Way to Restore Confluence's Navigation Structure
Atlassian recently rolled out a major UI update for Confluence Cloud.
The familiar top navigation menu is gone, replaced entirely with a sidebar-focused experience.
Is your team feeling the impact?
“It’s so hard to find documents now.”
“Every space serves a different purpose, but all look the same.”
“Our carefully organized wiki structure is destroyed.”
Many organizations are experiencing the same confusion. That’s why Flexible Space Navigation, developed by Open Source Consulting, was created—to solve exactly this issue.
Adapt Your Navigation, Not Your Team
Pin key spaces at the top
Add your most important spaces to the top of the navigation—those every employee accesses regularly, such as:
- Company announcements
- HR or security policies
- Project dashboards
The more frequently used, the more visible it should be.
Organize complex menus with folders
Group pages, links, and spaces into logical folders.
You can even nest subfolders to represent complex document hierarchies. Everything remains accessible while clutter stays out of sight.
Link to anything—spaces, URLs, or live content
- Internal spaces: Add any page or space in Confluence to your menu
- External links: Insert URLs to tools like Google Drive, Figma, or internal portals
- CQL queries: Automatically show documents like "recently updated by team lead" or "Pending approvals"
No code required - just a few clicks.
