Hi friends,

We’ve just released an update to Usage Statistics: “Live Doc” is now supported as a content type.

If you haven’t come across it yet—Live Docs are a new feature Atlassian recently rolled out. They’re built for collaborative, always-current content directly inside Confluence. And now, you can finally track how these Live Docs are being used across your instance.

We’re already using Live Docs internally—for things like our release planning—and honestly, it’s been great. No more exporting, no endless versioning, no guessing who made what change. Just one live document that stays up to date.

With this release, you can now:

  • Track views and interactions on Live Docs
  • Understand how teams are engaging with them
  • Include Live Docs alongside pages and blogs in your reporting

Use the new metric “Most recently created live docs” to monitor fresh content in real time

Confluence Usage Statistics dashboard with 'Content' tab selected, displaying filters for pages, blogposts, databases, whiteboards, embeds, and live docs. Includes metrics on content growth, creation trends, and most popular content.

No setup required—Live Docs are automatically picked up by Usage Statistics starting now.

Check out Usage Statistics on the Marketplace.

And There’s More Coming…

We’re also following how Atlassian is evolving Live Docs. Just recently, they introduced new ways to work with content that’s still being edited—not just the final published version.

This opens up exciting possibilities: better real-time integrations, smarter macros, and maybe even some new Usage Statistics features down the road.
