None of us likes to waste our time. That’s why a well-structured workspace is essential — for productivity and personal well-being.

Confluence is a powerful and popular collaboration tool, but navigating it efficiently can be a challenge. When key resources are buried under multiple pages, users waste valuable time searching instead of working.

In this article, we’ll show you how the intranet solution Mantra helps you create the best quick links in confluence to boost your team’s productivity.

What is Mantra?

Mantra is a social intranet solution that fully integrates with Confluence Cloud, transforming it into a more organized, collaborative, and engaging workspace. Unlike traditional Confluence setups, Mantra enhances team collaboration by providing:

• Customizable dashboards for at-a-glance access to essential content.

• Company-wide news feeds to improve top-down communication and keep employees informed.

• Interactive communities that bring people together for projects, discussions, and shared interests.

• Role-based permissions to ensure the right people access the right information.

• And much more!

 

 

More than just a navigation tool, Mantra is the perfect Confluence company hub, giving teams a single, structured space where communication, knowledge sharing, and collaboration seamlessly connect.

But without easy access to essential resources, even the best intranet can become cluttered and difficult to use. That’s why Mantra’s Quick Links play a crucial role in helping teams quickly find what they need.

Real-World Examples of Quick Links in Action

In Mantra Intranet, you can set up different workspaces for locations or teams. And each workspace has their own quick links in their Confluence dashboard. Imagine a marketing team using Confluence to manage campaigns. Their Quick Links dashboard might include:

• Campaign Calendar

• Brand Guidelines

• Content Repository

• Project Management Tool

• Weekly Marketing Meeting Notes

On a different Mantra workspace, for example a workspace for a software development team, Quick links could involve a product roadmap, the code repository, bug trackers and anything that help the team to succeed.

 

Making Confluence Your Team’s Central Hub

Mantra, combined with the strategic use of Quick Links, transforms Confluence from a simple document repository into a dynamic, collaborative, and efficient workspace. By providing quick and easy access to essential resources, you empower your team to work smarter, not harder.

Stop wasting time searching and start focusing on what matters most: getting work done.
