  • On Refined for Cloud you can pull Atlassian content from Jira, Jira Service Desk and Confluence into the one site. Think of it as a CMS or website content builder for Atlassian Tools.

  • On Cloud you can add custom domains to individual sites. Giving you the power to easily have multiple use cases connected to the one Refined platform.

  • Refined for Confluence Cloud cannot yet render all items of a Confluence page (macros and markups). We will continually add support for new macros. 

  • On Refined for Confluence Cloud permissions cannot be added to a site or page (called categories on Server) level. However you can add view permissions to the content sections on a page. On Refined for Confluence Server/DC it is possible to add view permissions on a category level. Both apps by default will honor the permissions set up in Confluence on spaces and pages. 

  • When editing a Confluence page in Refined for Confluence Cloud the editor will open in a new tab, opening Confluence itself. Changes will take effect as you would expect on the Refined page. On Refined for Confluence Server editing a Confluence page will open up the editor in the same window.

titleDoes Refined work for both Jira and Jira Service Management?

Yes! If you already have both Atlassian Jira and Jira Service Management, you only need to purchase Refined for Jira.

Rw expand
title Why can’t agents use the Customer Channel link in the agent view?

Refined runs a separate service in parallel to regular Jira Service Management, and as such the Refined customer portals run on our servers. This means the Customer Channels link in the agent view links to a default JSM portal.

Rw expand
titleCan I test Refined for JSM Cloud without interfering with regular Jira Service Management customer portals?

Yes you can. Your Refined site exists in parallel with your regular Jira Service Management portals. The customer will only end up at your new site when you refer them to the new URL, or when you change the email templates.

Rw expand
titleCan anonymous users create tickets?

Anonymous users will have to create an account to file a ticket.

In default JSM, it is possible for anonymous users to file a ticket without creating an account. This is currently not possible using Refined for Jira Cloud. We can’t develop this option, because there are no APIs from Atlassian supporting this.

titleCan I use a developer license for a non-production server?

The license system is built by Atlassian. They give the following answer:

"Marketplace app customers can get developer licenses for apps just as they can for host Atlassian products. Developer licenses are intended for staging or development environments only. Customers who have purchased Marketplace apps can get developer licenses by clicking the View Developer License link from their license page on my.atlassian.com.

The license types between the app and host application must match. That is, an app with a developer license only works in a host application that also has a developer license. The same applies to production licenses — a host application with a production license only takes apps that also have production licenses. If an app license type doesn't match its host application, the Universal Plugin Manager reports a license error status of Incompatible with product license (wrong type) for that app."

Refined Sites for Confluence

titleHow does I edit a Confluence page on a Refined site?

titleHow do permissions work?

Expand
titleDoes Refined Sites offer versioning for Confluence pages and blog posts?

Although Refined Sites doesn’t include a versioning functionality, it’s easy to use Confluence permissions to control what end users see. Because Refined Sites respects Confluence permissions, your sites only show content (pages or blog posts) that the user is allowed to see in native Confluence. When editors work on new Confluence content, restrict the content’s permissions so it’s only visible to them. Once the content is ready, change the permissions to make it available to all end users.

Alternatively, you can use Comala Publishing (or another versioning app in Confluence) to only show published content on a Refined site. Just make sure to add the target spaces from your Comala Publishing setup to the site (and not the source spaces). Your Refined sites always show the last published versions of content in those spaces and respect the content’s Confluence permissions. Read how the app works in Comala Publishing’s documentation.
