Pulse Users—What Changed And Why It’s a Good Thing
As we’ve communicated in past updates, all Pulse features are now fully integrated into Optics. Going forward, all new features and updates will be developed within Optics. This change enables faster feature delivery, simpler licensing, and a unified user experience.
This means Pulse is no longer available on the Atlassian Marketplace and cannot be installed by new customers. Existing customers will continue to receive support, compatibility updates, and bug fixes, but future innovation will happen in Optics.
If you’re still using only Pulse, here’s what that means for you and why it’s a great opportunity to evolve your setup.
What’s Optics and Why You Can Only Win
With Optics, you can create beautifully engaging Confluence pages in seconds, so your content drives smarter collaboration, boosts engagement, and actually gets read across the organization. The result: your content isn’t just written, it’s designed to be seen.
With Optics, you keep everything you know from Pulse and gain a whole new world of possibilities to format, structure, and enrich your content:
🤝 Clearer Communication with Stunning Modules
Share knowledge that’s easy to read and hard to miss. With modules like Cards, Buttons, Announcements, and the Image Slider, Optics helps every team highlight key info, boost engagement, and create clarity at a glance.
🚀 Faster Page Creation with Intuitive Editing
A clean, left-to-right editing experience puts all the right tools in reach, so you can go from idea to polished page faster, without extra clicks or complexity. No interruptions, no design skills required, just instant clarity.

Empower every team to create perfectly on-brand Confluence pages. The Optics style guide applies your company palette and brand elements across all modules, ensuring visual consistency every time.
