Show spaces in Confluence Cloud public sidebar

[Sverrir Tynes [Origo]]

We have a documentation Confluence instance and have created a space for each module of our product. All those spaces are public (Anonymous can view) and we want them to be displayed in the Confluence global navigation in the All spaces section. Is this possible in Confluence Cloud?

The technical writer tells me that this was displayed like we want until recently but i can´t find any record of this in Atlassian documentation.

Hello Sverrir,

Thank you for contacting us about this. When you navigate to the Space Directory by clicking on Spaces on the left sidebar, it will show all spaces.

Have a look here for more details:

• Getting Started with Confluence Cloud > The Space Directory

Note that only spaces the users have access to browse will be listed. So if there are some missing for your anonymous users, then they won't be able to see them.

Can you tell me if this is the feature you are referring to? Are you having any particular issues with this?

Regards,

Shannon

Hi Shannon

Thanks for your reply. I´m aware of the Space directory but we want to get rid of this extra click for our users so they can go directly to the space they want to view. The sidebar I´m referring to is the Confluence Global sidebar (the Blue one on the left) for Anonymous users this sidebar is showing Activity, Spaces and All Spaces. My question is if it´s possible to show the public spaces (open for anonymous) in the All Spaces section in this sidebar. 

As mentioned in my first post, the technical writer tells me that this was displayed like we want until recently.

Regards

Sverrir

Sverrir,

Thank you for explaining that to me. I understand now.

I am reaching out to the team behind this to see if I can understand what spaces are supposed to display there. I'm able to replicate the same behavior on my instance.

I'll get back to you as soon as I have more information on this.

Regards,

Shannon

Sverrir,

Thank you for your patience. I've confirmed that is not the expected behavior and have raised the following bug:

• CONFCLOUD-67131 For anonymous users, All Spaces dialogue on sidebar does not show any spaces

Go ahead and click This affects my team and you will automatically be added to the list of watchers. You'll receive updates as soon as there is any progress made on this issue.

Thank you again and take care!
