Workflows for Confluence - May 2026

New features 💎

• We’ve created a new Workflows Official Version Description macro to replace and improve the display of the “current official version description” in the existing Workflows Metadata macro.

  • Any existing usages of “current official version description” via the Workflows Metadata macro will continue to work reliably. You do not need to replace any old macros.

  • Going forward, please use the new Workflows Official Version Description macro as it improves how the description is displayed.

• We’re introducing officially supported content properties in Workflows, starting with metadata for the latest finalised official version.e

Improvements 🛠️

• The Byline now makes it explicit when an action cannot be performed because another user has already transitioned the Workflow - you will see a “Workflow is already transitioned” flag and the Byline will refresh for you automatically.

• The Approval Info modal now closes automatically with an informative flag when a workflow transition occurs because Additional Approvers were removed and this caused the approval quorum to be met.

Bug fixes 🐛

• Fixed a bug where approval reminders could be sent for approvals that a user has already approved or rejected.

• Fixed an issue with migrations (from deleting workflows and from Comala DC) that could prevent transitioning to previous or the initial step on edit.

• Fixed a bug where the Apply workflow modal would sometimes load perpetually.

• Fixed a bug with Page selection (in the configuration of a Publish Content action) where special characters (e.g. &) in the search were not handled properly, causing pages to be missed in the results. Also, any result pages now display more consistently with the title visible on their respective Confluence pages.
