Making Confluence Accessible with Unstoppable (Virtual)
19 May 2022 | 3:00 PM-6:00 PM America/Chicago (United States of America)
Confluence is one of the most widely used team workspace platforms out there. Unfortunately, totally blind users don’t have the easiest time using it. Because of this, we introduced Unstoppable to the Atlassian Marketplace so users that were totally blind could use Confluence. Even though users now have access to using Jira with Unstoppable, just giving someone access to a product doesn’t mean they will know how to use it. Because of this, we’ve introduced our Confluence training specifically designed for individuals that want to learn how to use Confluence with Unstoppable. Even if you don’t need to use Unstoppable to use Confluence, we welcome everyone to come learn how to use Unstoppable with Confluence.
