Pricing and licensing

Expand
titleWhat do the Refined Sites apps cost?

Use the Atlassian license cost calculator to add Refined and based on your user count. Please note that apps are based on number of users and not agents, which means that for a JSM setup the price might vary.

All Refined sales are handled via Atlassian Marketplace. You can pay or get a quote directly through your my.atlassian.com account.

titleHow do I know which license to choose when purchasing Refined?

The Atlassian license tier determines the Refined Sites license type you need. For example, if you want to install Refined Sites for Confluence with a 100 user Confluence license, then you need to purchase a 100 user license of Refined Sites for Confluence.

The right tier is selected automatically in the Atlassian Marketplace.

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 for Confluence

...

titleWhat are the main differences between Refined for Confluence Cloud compared to Refined for Server/DC?

...

On Refined for Cloud you can pull content from Jira Software, Jira Service Management and Confluence into a site. Think of it as a website 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 can’t 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 can’t 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 honour the permissions set up in Confluence on spaces and pages.

Refined Sites for Confluence

Expand
titleHow does the editor work if I want to edit a Confluence page from on a Refined site?

Refined Sites refers you to edit the page in Confluence in a new tab. Whenever you make changes in Confluence, they are immediately visible on your Refined site too.

Expand
titleHow do permissions work in Refined for Cloud?

Refined sites show pages, spaces and Confluence pages based on the visitor’s user’s Confluence permissions. You can add additional permissions to your sites and (sections of) pages.

Expand
titleDoes Refined for Confluence Cloud support the old (legacy) Confluence Cloud Editor?

No, we only support pages created with the new Confluence Cloud editor. 

...

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.

Refined Sites for Jira Service Management

Yes!
Expand
titleDoes Refined Sites work for both Jira Software and Jira Service Management?

Customers who created their account after 20 August 2023

Due to maintenance, it’s temporarily not possible youto add Jira projects to Refined sites. You can only add JSM projects to Refined sites. If you have questions about this, please contact us.

Customers who created their account before 20 August 2023

If you already have both Atlassian Jira Software and Jira Service Management, you only need to purchase one app: Refined Sites for Jira Service Management.

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

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

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

Yes you can. Your Refined site exists in parallel with your regular JSM 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.

Anonymous users will have to create an account to file a ticket.
Expand
titleWhy can't anonymous users create tickets?
access JSM content?

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