To change a capability's site-wide settings without going to Confluence administration, open the capability in Capable and select Global settings at the end of the Manage group in its sidebar. It is there in Approval, Calendar, Diagrams and Macros, for Confluence site administrators only, and shows the same settings as the capability's tab in Global settings.

#Before you start

  • You need to be a Confluence site administrator. The entry appears once Capable has confirmed that.

  • Publishing has no entry: its only site-wide settings stay in Confluence administration.

#Steps

  1. Open the capability in Capable, for example Diagrams.

  2. In the sidebar, find the Manage group.

  3. Select Global settings.

  4. Change the setting you need. Switches save as soon as you change them.

#What happens next

The change is the same setting as on the admin page, so the two always agree. Other people see it within about a minute. Features switches that belong to the capability appear here too, such as Calendar subscriptions in Calendar, Diagram presence in Diagrams and Approval status banner in Approval. A switch that covers every capability, such as AI integrations, says so.
