Userscripts for Confluence defines a userscript in form of a descriptor with a reference to the actual script code. The userscript is configured for users by the administration team. Hence users can benefit from additional functions without bothering to validate the fitness of a script for their task by themselves. This makes extending Confluence easier, especially for team members without programming skills. While these additional features can be implemented in form of Confluence apps, many utilities simply rely on a short amount of JavaScript code. These few lines of code are easily shared and boost the productivity of teams. Content Marker |
