Confluence Workspace

Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate Offering: GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated

Use a Confluence Workspace as your project wiki.

This integration adds a link to a Confluence wiki instead of the GitLab wiki. Any content you have in Confluence is not displayed in GitLab.

When you turn on the integration:

  • A new menu item is added to the left sidebar: Plan > Confluence. It links to your Confluence wiki.
  • The Plan > Wiki menu item is hidden.

    To access the GitLab wiki for the project, use its URL: <example_project_URL>/-/wikis/home. To bring back the Plan > Wiki menu item, turn off this integration.

Creating a more comprehensive integration with Confluence Cloud is tracked in epic 3629.
