Share Confluence with anyone without adding them to your workspace

Overview
Core values
Secure external sharing
Share only what you want and keep sensitive content protected – control every share with passwords, email or domain restrictions, expiration dates, IP allowlists, selected users and SSO/SAML authentication.
Full control over access
Decide exactly what external users can see and do: view, comment, edit, or download – all aligned with your internal permissions model.
Flexible page customization
Control how shared pages look and what external users see – customize headers, footers, navigation, fonts, page styles and email templates without changing the original Confluence content.
Control who gets access
Share pages only with specific users or domains – ensure your content is accessible only to those who truly need it.
