You can keep up with changes on the wiki in the following ways:
View a list of recently updated pages
To view a list of the most recently updated pages in any wiki space
- Navigate to the space.
- Choose one of the following methods:
- Click the Dashboard link, just above the page title. If needed, click the Recently Updated link.
- Click the Tools (...) icon above the page title, on the right side of the page. Select View in Hierarchy. Click the Recently Updated link.
Subscribe to updates by email
You can subscribe to email notifications of changes on a page, changes in a whole wiki space, or changes in all wiki spaces you have permission to view.
If you select Subscribe to daily updates, just after midnight the wiki sends by email a list of all the pages you have permission to view which have changed during the preceding 24 hours. For each page that has changed, the message indicates the most recent change on that page. To review that change, click the View Changes link. To review the other changes to any page, navigate to that page, click the Tools (...) icon, and select Page History.
For details, refer to the following pages:

Subscribe to updates by RSS
You can subscribe to updates by RSS. For details, refer to the following page:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf613/subscribe-to-rss-feeds-within-confluence-964961022.html
Each time you change your password, resubscribe to all wiki RSS feeds, to avoid locking your account and being unable to log in. If you lock your account, you can unlock it on IForgotMyPassword.
If RSS does not work, for example a message is displayed saying that the FEED URL is incorrect, the feed from the wiki does not work with the RSS reader. Try the feed in another reader.
View the changes on a page
You can view the changes on a page, or compare any two versions of a page. Keep in mind the following points:
- After you create a page, Page History has your name under "Changed By" in the v.1 row.
- The comparison view is similar to the Microsoft Word comparison feature, rather than the Microsoft Word change tracking:
- If you move C up between A and B, it might appear as if you had moved B down below C.
- If you change one small thing, Confluence might interpret it as a huge change.
- When there is a "Migration of unmigrated content due to installation of a new plugin" change, Confluence attributes that change to the last person who edited the page, even if that wiki user account is no longer valid.
- Sometimes, Confluence automatically does something to multi-excerpt include macros and table formatting. This automatic change appears in the comparison view along with your changes.
