If that process feels tedious, he may not access page histories again. When he goes back to that page for review, he needs to remember when was the last time he accessed the page, compare that version with his landing page and then compare with the current version. When changes are made later on confluence, my designer misses the notification because his inbox is full of them. Take this use case: a designer creates a landing page for an event and grabs the copy from Confluence.

Granted, Confluence has both version control and change notifications but none of them is as usable as the equivalent features on Word and Google Docs for a simple reason: changes can't be passively tracked in view mode.

The second limitation is easy change tracking.

For once, it doesn't highlight the first level text that is being commented. There's one app on the marketplace, Talk!, but it has important limitations. This task flow is very disruptive and can't be sustained meaningfully. As things stand, I now have to save, exit, comment, and go back to where I was. I find that creating text 'for consumption' while adding meta-text can be really productive and save meetings and clarifications. If I'm writing for a team, I want to be able to communicate my thoughts to my colleagues as I go.

The first is the ability to comment while editing.

As an editor with many years using Microsoft Word and some time collaborating live with Google Docs, there are two features that I miss very hardly on Confluence:
