Where are my starred pages in Confluence Cloud?

Open Starred in the left sidebar of the Confluence home. The full list with a filter is at https://your-site.atlassian.net/wiki/home/starred.

How do I star a page in Confluence Cloud?

Open the page's More actions menu (three dots) and choose Star, or press Ctrl+Alt+F. Pages can also be starred from the Recent list.

Can I see which pages a colleague has starred?

No. Stars are personal, and Atlassian documents that the favourite condition in CQL only returns the logged-in user's favourites.

How to see your starred pages in Confluence Cloud

Stars are the closest thing Confluence has to bookmarks. Here is where they are, how to add them without hunting for an icon, and how to get them as a list you can reuse. Checked on a live Confluence Cloud site.

Short answer. On the Confluence home, open Starred in the left sidebar. It lists the pages you starred. At the bottom, View all starred items opens the full list with a filter box, at https://your-site.atlassian.net/wiki/home/starred. To star a page, open its More actions menu (three dots) and choose Star, or press Ctrl+Alt+F.

Where the list is

The Starred menu in the sidebar is the quick view: click it and your starred pages drop down right there, without leaving the page you are on.

Spaces have their own stars. Starred spaces appear in a separate section of the same sidebar, not in the Starred pages menu.

For a list you can bookmark in the browser or share with yourself on another device, use the full page at /wiki/home/starred. Typing in its search box narrows the list as you type.

How to star a page

On the page: More actions (three dots at the top right) → Star.
Keyboard: Ctrl+Alt+F on the page.
From the full Recent list: each row has its own Star button, handy when you want to star several pages you visited today.

Starred pages as a query

The same list is available through CQL, the query language behind Confluence search:

favourite = currentUser()

The American spelling favorite works too. On our test site the query returned exactly the page we had starred a minute earlier. You can combine it with other conditions, for example your starred pages in one space that nobody has edited for half a year:

favourite = currentUser() AND space = DEV AND lastmodified < now("-26w")

More ready-made queries in our CQL cheat sheet.

What you cannot do

See someone else's stars. Stars are personal, and Atlassian's CQL documentation states that the favourite condition only returns the favourites of the person running the query. If a team needs a shared list of important pages, a label works better than stars: everyone can see it, and a page list built on a label updates itself.

Disclosure: I build Smart Search for Confluence, which shows a live list of pages by label, space or "not updated for N days" right on a page, so a team list does not depend on anyone's personal stars. For your own bookmarks, the built-in Starred list above is all you need.
