Confluence publishing
Confluence public links are useful when you need to quickly share a page with someone outside your workspace. But if you want to publish Confluence content as proper public pages, customer docs, release notes, or a lightweight knowledge base, Satori Cloud gives you a more polished publishing workflow.
Public links are helpful for quick sharing. They are less ideal when you want a repeatable publishing process, a better external reader experience, and public-facing pages that feel separate from your internal Confluence workspace.
A public link is useful when you want to send someone a page. But customer documentation, release notes, and public knowledge bases usually need more structure than a one-off shared link.
Confluence is great for internal collaboration. But external readers often expect a cleaner, simpler web page experience, especially for product documentation and customer-facing content.
If you are publishing more than one page, you need a way to decide what should be public, keep it updated, and avoid giving external readers a view into your internal workspace.
Customers should be able to read the content without needing to understand Confluence, page trees, Atlassian navigation, or internal team structures.
Confluence public links and Satori Cloud both help you share Confluence content externally. The difference is the intent: public links are for quick access, while Satori Cloud is for publishing selected Confluence pages as external-facing web content.

Public links are not bad. They are useful when you simply need to share a Confluence page with someone outside your workspace and you do not need a separate public documentation experience.
