After six great years, we’ve made the decision to retire Inline Comments in the Editor.
The app was first born from our internal Hackathon event (Hacketse) in 2019 to fill a gap for Confluence Server and Data Center users who needed the ability to view inline comments while editing a page. Since then, it’s helped many teams collaborate more effectively on their content.
However, with the release of Confluence 8.3, Atlassian introduced native support for viewing and resolving inline comments in the editor. As a result, the app is no longer needed and is not compatible with newer versions of Confluence. Inline Comments in the Editor will officially be retired on December 31, 2025.
What this means for you
-
If you're using Confluence 8.2.3 or earlier: You can continue using the Inline Comments in the Editor app for the remainder of your subscription. While no new feature updates will be released, we’ll provide essential maintenance fixes as needed. No new purchases of the app will be possible, and existing customers will be unable to renew their existing licence.
-
If you're on Confluence 8.3 or later: Viewing and resolving inline comments is built natively into the Confluence editor, eliminating the need for our app. Please note that the Inline Comments in the Editor app is not compatible with Confluence 8.3 or newer versions and should be uninstalled.
Looking ahead
Whilst Inline Comments in the Editor has reached the end of its journey, we continue to build and support other apps that help teams manage and publish their documentation in Confluence.
With our Scroll Apps, you can:
-
Manage versions, variants and translations of your documentation in Confluence.
-
Publish your content as branded, high-performance sites.
-
Export it to beautiful, customized formats like PDF, Word and HTML.
If you haven’t explored them yet, take a look at our Scroll Apps for Confluence – they might be just what you need to take your documentation further.
