Getting started

  1. Install WikiFix from the Atlassian Marketplace.
  2. Open it from Apps → WikiFix. The first time anyone does, a short wizard explains what WikiFix does, then hands you one interactive step.
  3. Pick the spaces to scan and click Start monitoring or Scan now — that starts a scan right there.

Skip the wizard if you’re not ready; you can start a scan the same way later. Atlassian’s standard 30-day trial applies, and it includes a starter allotment of scan credits (see Credits & capacity).

WikiFix shows up in three places:

  • Apps → WikiFix — the global page, where your scans live.
  • A space’s left navigation → WikiFix — scans scoped to this space, plus any scan with no specific space scope, opened from inside a space.
  • Settings → Apps → WikiFix Admin — admin settings: permissions, the LLM key, and your edition.

Two tabs run the whole product: Dashboard, the health board for the spaces you monitor, and Scans, the history of every run and where you start a new one.

The WikiFix Scans tab: a list of past runs with their status, findings broken down by type, credits spent and when they ran, each with Open and Re-scan actions, and a "Start a Scan" button above.

A scan is a scope you can re-run.

  1. Open the Scans tab and click Start a Scan.
  2. Fill in the two fields below.
  3. Click Start scan. It begins immediately and runs in the background.
FieldWhat it does
Scan nameWhatever helps you find it later.
SpacesThe spaces to scan. Scans read them with the app’s access, granted at install — not your personal permissions (Security & data).

The "Start a scan" dialog: a Scan name field, and a space picker listing each space with its page count, a note that scans cost credits for every page analyzed, and a running "1 of 16 selected · ≈ 502 pages" total.

Every enabled finder runs on every scan — there’s no picker. A new scan runs on demand: nothing happens until you start it. Give it a cadence afterward from the scan’s own Settings — on demand, daily, weekly, or monthly. Asking a page owner to decide a specific finding is a one-click action from the findings list — see Reading a finding below.

The scan runs in the background — close the tab if you like. Findings stream in as they’re found, so you can start reading before the run finishes. The credits bar at the top ticks down as the scan spends credits; Credits & capacity explains what it’s spending them on.

When two pages disagree about a fact, WikiFix frames the disagreement as a question — say, “What is the maximum upload size?” — and lists each page’s answer beside it, quoted verbatim and linked to the exact passage. You see what the pages actually say, not a score.

A WikiFix finding: the question "How does azelaic acid's treatment response compare to benzoyl peroxide?" with each page's answer as a selectable option — "equal" and "worse", each showing how many pages it would update — plus "Ask owner" and "Ignore". The selected answer names the page that states it.

For each finding:

  • Apply — pick the correct answer, and WikiFix rewrites every page that disagrees. The edit is made as you, so it shows in page history like any other edit.
  • Ask owner — hand the decision over instead. WikiFix posts a comment on the page, anchored to the passage in question and @mentioning the page’s owner and the space’s admins, and the finding moves to the Escalated tab to wait on their answer.
  • Ignore — a deliberate difference, or not worth fixing right now. It disappears from this scan and stays gone on later runs of it. Ignore freely: it only affects the scan you’re in, so another scan over the same pages still surfaces it, and if the disagreement changes — another page joins it, say — it comes back as a new finding.

Nothing changes in your Confluence without one of these explicit clicks.

A content fix has a Revert button — one click restores the previous text, and because fixes are ordinary page edits, Confluence page history keeps the full before/after too. If the page changed again since you applied the fix, revert can come back partial — some pages restored, others not — or get refused outright; WikiFix tells you which.

Departed-owner reassignments don’t revert. There’s no previous owner to hand the page back to — that’s the reason the finding fired in the first place — so Revert stays disabled there.

Pages with findings show a WikiFix item in the byline, under the page title — so anyone who can edit the page sees there’s an open question about it without opening WikiFix. The byline shows only to people with edit access to the page: a read-only viewer can’t apply or revert a fix, so it stays out of their way.
