How should you share your Confluence content?

We will compare public links, anonymous access, guest access, manual sharing, and publishing as a simple website.

The problem

The content is useful externally. The workspace is not.

Product guides, implementation instructions, support articles, security information and onboarding material often already live in Confluence.

The problem starts when somebody outside your organisation needs to read them. Giving that person Confluence access means accounts, permissions and a collaboration interface they probably never needed.

The alternative is often exporting PDFs or copying the content into a website. That solves the access problem, but creates another copy that can drift away from the version your team actually maintains.

How it works

Confluence stays the source. Satori becomes the publishing layer.

You do not need to move your documentation into another CMS just to make some of it available externally.

01

Connect Confluence

Connect your Confluence workspace and choose the space containing the content you want to publish.

02

Choose the pages

Select the individual pages that should appear on the external site. The rest of the workspace stays out of the published site.

03

Preview and publish

Sync the latest content into a draft, preview it, then explicitly publish when you are ready for the public site to change.

Your options

Four common ways to share Confluence content externally

Give Confluence access

Suitable when someone genuinely needs to collaborate inside the workspace.

More access admin
Export a PDF

Quick for a one-off handover, but the exported copy can become stale.

Copy into a website

Gives readers a good web experience, but creates a second version to maintain.

Duplicate content
Publish with Satori

Keep the source in Confluence and publish only the content external readers need.

One source of truth

If you are deciding between Atlassian's own sharing options, see our comparison of Confluence public links and anonymous access .

Control what goes live

Syncing a change does not have to change the live site.

Satori separates your latest synced draft from the published version. You can sync changes from Confluence, preview them, and publish only when you are ready.

Sync from Confluence

Update the Satori draft with the latest content.

Preview the draft

Check the site before readers see the change.

Publish explicitly

Replace the live snapshot only when you choose to publish.

What about Confluence anonymous access?

Anonymous access can make Confluence content publicly reachable, but it also changes how your Confluence space itself is exposed. If your goal is to publish selected content as a separate external experience, a publishing layer is a different model.

FAQ

Publishing Confluence pages without giving access

Can I publish a Confluence page without giving the reader a Confluence account?

Yes. Satori Cloud publishes selected Confluence content as separate web pages, so readers do not need to log in to your Confluence workspace.

Does publishing a page expose the rest of my Confluence space?

No. You choose which pages are part of the Satori site. Other Confluence content is not automatically added to the published site.

Do I have to maintain a second copy of the content?

No. Confluence remains the source. When the source content changes, you can sync the latest version into Satori rather than copying the article into another CMS.

Do Confluence changes immediately affect the live site?

No. Satori keeps a draft and published version separate. You can sync and preview changes before explicitly publishing them to the live site.

Is this the same as Confluence public links or anonymous access?

No. Those approaches expose Confluence content through Confluence itself. Satori creates a separate external website from the pages you choose to publish. You can also read our Confluence public links vs anonymous access comparison .
