7. Add-ons and Integrations: Confluence supports a wide range of third-party add-ons and integrations to extend its functionality. These integrations can enhance content creation, project management, analytics, and more.

8. Permissions and Access Control: Confluence provides fine-grained access control, allowing administrators to set permissions at the space, page, and individual level. This ensures that content is accessible only to authorized users.

9. Cloud and Self-Hosted Versions: Confluence is available in both cloud and self-hosted versions, giving teams the flexibility to choose the deployment option that best fits their needs.
