• Define and view aggregated groups of web feeds (Atom/RSS).

• Use the design option for the Personal and Corporate News Feed macros for a compact appearance.

• As a Confluence administrator, see basic usage statistics about the Personal News Feed.

• Configure news sources more flexibly than ever before: Select zero or more spaces and/or zero or more labels to choose the blog posts to be displayed in our news macros.

• Mark blog posts as "sticky" to keep them above regular posts within the Corporate and Personal News Feed macros, regardless of their publish date.

• Define the date when a blog post will lose this "sticky" status, so you don't have to clean up your feeds manually.
