If you've got a lot of content on Confluence, staying on top of everything may seem a little daunting – but these features will help your team save and track all the content they care about.
My Spaces
Add any spaces that you want to be able to navigate to easily to your list of 'My Spaces'. This list can be found under your dashboard and in the Space Directory, and you can also use the Spaces List Macro to display it on a page or blog.
To add a space to your list of 'My Spaces', either navigate to that space or find it under the Space Directory, and select the star icon next to the Space Name. To remove it from the list, just select the star icon again.

Save for later
If you only want links to certain pages or blogs rather than a whole space, you can choose Save for laterand these will appear on your dashboard and under your profile. You can use the Favorite Pages Macro to display a list of all of everything you've saved for later.

Watch a page, blog or space
If you want to keep track of all the changes made to a page, blog, or space, you can also watch them. Watching any content means that you will receive email notifications for all edits, deletions, attachments or comments made to that content.
- To watch a page, navigate to the page you want to watch, then choose Watch > Watch page , or if you want to watch the whole space, select Watch all content in this space .
- To watch a blog, navigate to that blog and choose Watch this blog .
- To stop watching something, deselect the relevant tick box.
You can also manage watchers for your own space. This is useful when, for example, you're creating a new project, and want the team members on that project to stay notified of its progress. Go to any page in that space and choose Watch > Manage Watchers, then add or delete any names under 'Watching this space'.

@mentions
Use @mentions for any work where you need someone else's input or want to assign someone a task. Mentioning someone works like a tag; they'll immediately receive a notification that they've been mentioned, and can click through to that page or blog. If you mention someone when creating a task, it'll assign that task to them and they'll also be able to find it under their profile.
You can use this in place of emails – if you want someone to look something over, add in additional information, or approve anything, simply put that work on Confluence and assign it to them as a task. They'll be able to make any changes or comments within Confluence and let you know when they're done by mentioning you back.
