Welcome to Capable, the all-in-one solution for your Confluence needs. We understand the frustration of having to install multiple plugins with different pricing models, user interfaces, and learning curves.
That's why we created Capable - to provide a consistent, robust, and scalable app that combines all the most requested features in one place. With Capable, you can easily access and add functionality to your Confluence pages, making it Confluence+.
What is a Capability?
A Capability is a feature or function that has been integrated into Capable. These capabilities are designed to enhance your Confluence experience and make it easier for you to create and manage your content.
We currently provide the following modules:
Approval - get feedback on your pages, with Slack and Email notifications
Calendar - manage important schedules spread across pages in a central view
Diagrams - insert diagrams - from roadmaps to user journeys, flowcharts etc.
Formatting - packed with 15+ macros that help enrich your pages and engage
Markdown - insert Markdown from a templates or from a URL
Images - insert relevant images, properly licensed directly into your pages
Search - find information from across your site and view important info at a glance
Thats not all - we are always coming up with new ideas for capabilities and engaging with our customers to understand which areas to invest in to bring consistent solutions to your business needs. Capable will evolve over time and provides a platform for experimentation and innovation.
How do I use Capabilities on my pages?
Using Capabilities on your pages is simple. Once you have installed Capable, you will see a new toolbar item at the top of your Confluence pages. This toolbar contains all the capabilities that are available for you to use.
Hint - You can also press . (period) on your keyboard to open the Capable menu
Once you've opened the menu, simply click on the capability you want to use or search through all available functions using Intelligent search (search templates, macros etc.)
How do I access the main dashboard?
The main dashboard is where you can manage all your capabilities and settings. To access it, click on the "Capable" button in the space sidebar, or the Apps menu.
Depending on how you open Capable, it will only show data from that scope, making it easy to focus on specific pages. Opening the app from the Apps menu will show all data, whereas opening the app from the Space sidebar will show only data in that space.
The navigation bar provides an easy way to access the capabilities available to you.
How do I add macros to my page?
Adding macros to your page is easy with Capable. Simply type /capable and select the macro you want to add (you can also browse the macros from the + in the toolbar).
Setting up notifications
With Capable, you can set up notifications to stay updated on changes and updates to your pages related to capabilities. To do this, go to the main dashboard and look at the "Integrations" panel. From here, you can customize your notification settings and choose how you want to be notified.
How do I pin capabilities to pages in specific Spaces?
With Capable, you can pin capabilities to specific spaces in your Confluence. This allows you to have different capabilities available in different spaces. To do this, go to the Space you'd like to customize and click on the "Space settings" item in the sidepanel and then click on 'Capable' in the list.
From here you can configure capabilities to be shown:
Automatic - show the byline item if there is relevant data on the page
Always on - always show the capability at the top of the page
Always off - disable the capability in this space
