How to upgrade

New themes for a fresh look and feel

Using one of Refined’s default themes? Modernize your site’s look and feel with a host of new options.

Admin Delegation to lighten your load

Now you can dole out admin permissions to trusted users so they can configure Refined for Confluence on their own.

Confluence admins can grant permissions for Refined users according to three levels:

  • Refined Admin: Permission to administer all Refined elements (themes, sites, categories, spaces); Confluence admin permissions not required.
  • Site Admin: Permission to administer Refined at the site level.
  • Category Admin: Permission to administer Refined at the category level.

  • Public Views to reach more users: Want to reach folks who aren’t logged into Confluence? Make sections of your site visible to anonymous users for signup forms, announcements, helpful links, get started pages, and more.
  • Improved UX for better site-building: Refined’s Layout Editor is updated with a fresh look and feel, plus new capabilities like module cloning, which can shave time off site builds.
