Not getting daily updates anymore
Asked by Jeannine Hooper-Yan:

I recently started receiving a "Daily Digest" and stopped receiving my Daily Update email.   

They are not the same! The Daily Digest is missing a lot of updates. It is only reporting 1 page changed in the last few days and I know that's not correct.   

I confirmed my email settings still have Daily Updates selected. Was this disabled? Any idea how I get it back?

Latest Daily changes email does not contain all changes it's just cut, due to email limits ;-)

*** ** * ** ***

*Hope you're having a great day. There have been **14 updates** since Friday, February 2, 2024. Want to see more updates?*

***Hello super-follower!** Due to email size limits, we aren't able to show all your updated here without them being clipped? ++View all in Confluence++ (as link)*

*** ** * ** ***

And afterwards it lists 1 change in 1 space  
and 5 changes in 1 other space,  
**the other 9 announced changes are missing!!!**

The provided link leads to the ugly and unusable **Home** page of Confluence and does of course not show the missing data, especially when I read this email a day later, for catching up what happened yesterday. It's annoying how Atlassian thinks users are working with their system.

Looks like it's time to search for a successor system which works like a user expects.

body: [@Jeannine Hooper-Yan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/684327) I recently wrote an article about your options for a generally better [Confluence Daily Digest](https://www.midori-global.com/blog/2024/01/24/confluence-daily-digest-email?utm_campaign=gh&utm_medium=cac-comment-2086505&utm_source=cac) experience and how you can get the Daily Updates email (something very close to that) back with the automated email notifications provided by [Better Content Archiving.](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/123/better-content-archiving-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_campaign=gh&utm_medium=cac-comment-2086505&utm_source=cac)  
It allows you to, among other things:

* report the updated pages across Confluence, not just what you watch
* have your own schedule
* customize the layout, content and recipients to your team's needs

[Give the article](https://www.midori-global.com/blog/2024/01/24/confluence-daily-digest-email?utm_campaign=gh&utm_medium=cac-comment-2086505&utm_source=cac) a read and [reach out to us](https://midori.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) if you have any questions about the implementation.

body: You will never get this functionality back as Atlassian dropped **Daily Changes** notification without any replacement in place.

The official workaround - see <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Daily-Digest-email-will-replace-quot-Confluence-changes-in-the/ba-p/2460886> is to use **Daily Changes** email instead, but the functionality is not the same, because

* Daily Changes reports only changes in spaces you are actively watching
* and does not show all changes you have a right to see (as Daily Changes email did in the past)

There is also no other workaround avail, e.g. by using **Recently Updated** Macro, as this Macro lists all single changes for all pages you have a right to see, but

* it does neither cluster them according spaces
* nor combine several changes into a single change info line of test

You can vote for <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-76708> but this will, to my experience not help a lot, as it's just a parking place for complaints and for getting customers quiet.

Sorry to say.

Please check out this thread for more information. There does seem to be a user in the comments section that is asking a **similar** (but not exact same) question. Hopefully the answers from Atlassian will \[rovide some guidance to help you.

body: This doesn't really help me. I think Daily Digest broke Daily Summary - except it's a very poor cousin.

I'm not sure what problem Atlassian was trying to solve. If you turned off ALL email preferences except Subscribe to Daily Updates, you only got 1 email per day. Using Daily Updates gave me 1 email daily that summarized everything that happened in Confluence that I have access to. It includes a link to take you directly to the compare page to see what changed.

Daily Digest is only finding 1 changed page in the last several days (my team averages 10-20 changes a day) and does not give me direct access to the compare view.

I need my Daily Update back.
