Work your way in Confluence with an all-in-one document management tool

Don’t just take our word for it

This app is excellent. Its workflow designer is flexible, and the ability to automatically apply workflows to confluence documents based on CQL queries, and restrict who can and cannot modify workflows is fantastic.
