Introducing Dex: Storytelling and Presentations in Confluence
Dex is here — and it’s changing the way teams communicate in Confluence.
Today, we’re excited to announce Dex, a new macro inside the Optics Advanced Edition. With Dex, it’s effortless to create beautifully styled, presentation-ready updates — all inside Confluence.
Why Dex?
Confluence is great for documentation, but not always ideal for communication moments like strategy rollouts, team updates, or results presentations. That’s where Dex comes in:
✅ Engaging templates: Prebuilt layouts designed to tell full stories, not just static pages.
🎨 Consistent design: Built-in styling that adapts to your brand and keeps every page polished.
🎥 Presentation-ready: Switch any Dex page into full-screen slides with one click.
With Dex, there’s no need to copy content into external slide decks or fight with formatting. Everything happens right where your team already works.
What You Can Do with Dex
🌟 Highlight milestones and key results
🧭 Share strategies, goals, and roadmaps
📣 Announce product launches or company updates
🎤 Present directly in Confluence — from sprint reviews to all-hands meetings
Page or Presentation — Your Choice
Dex lets you decide how your story is shared:
As a polished Confluence page that reads like a landing experience
Or as a slide-style presentation for live delivery
It’s the same content, simply shared in the way that fits your needs.
Dex + Viz = The New Optics
With this launch, Optics now includes two powerful macros:
Viz (formerly the Optics macro): formatting modules like Cards, Panels, Buttons, and People — included in the Standard Edition.
Dex: story-driven blocks and presentations — available in the Advanced Edition.
Together, Viz and Dex give teams everything they need for documentation, communication, and storytelling in Confluence.
Available Now
Dex is included in the Optics Advanced Edition. A valid Advanced license is required for access.
