How to Use Confluence (Beginner Tutorial)

About this video

Kevin Stratvert, in partnership with Atlassian, gives a beginner tour of Confluence using a Kevin Cookie Company NYC flagship store launch. Confluence is free for teams up to 10 people. He creates a dedicated Space for the project, stars it for quick access, and explains Confluence now covers marketing, HR, design and operations beyond documentation. Using Create with Rovo, Atlassian’s AI, he generates a whiteboard outlining opening-day activities and timeline from a prompt, then asks Rovo to add NYC-themed cookie flavors and swap one inline. He also generates a live document staffing plan with roles, responsibilities and headcount. Live docs support real-time co-editing, comments, @mentions, slash-menu inserts, embedded images, videos and links from tools like Google Slides, Figma and Jira, and Rovo quick actions to shorten, polish or fix text. He contrasts live docs with Pages, which use a publish model for finalized content, notes databases for structured trackers that Rovo can also generate, and shows Rovo search answering plain-language questions across pages, whiteboards and Loom videos via the Teamwork graph, plus a mobile app with audio briefings.

Key takeaways

• Confluence Spaces organize all project content; Confluence is free for teams up to 10 people
• Rovo can generate first drafts of whiteboards, live docs and databases from prompts or uploaded files, in a private preview before publishing
• Live documents enable real-time collaboration, comments, @mentions and rich embeds without publish/refresh cycles
• Pages use a publish model for polished, finalized content, completing a lifecycle from whiteboard to live doc to page
• Rovo search answers natural-language questions across workspace content and the mobile app offers podcast-style audio briefings
