Confluence page analytics: a guide not only for Premium users

Confluence page analytics is a comprehensive set of metrics designed to provide insights into how content is interacted with in a Confluence Cloud instance.

This inclusivity ensures that all teams, regardless of their subscription tier, can benefit from valuable insights into Confluence page view stats like user activity, content status, and interaction patterns.
