Confluence is where your team documents knowledge—but when content gets long or complex, words alone can’t always explain. That’s where Zight comes in. By integrating Zight with Confluence, you can embed short videos, annotated screenshots, GIFs, and AI-powered summaries directly into your pages—helping your team understand faster, align better, and collaborate more clearly.

In this guide, you’ll learn how Zight transforms your Confluence workspace into a visual knowledge hub that drives action—not just documentation.

Why Visual Communication is a Game-Changer in Confluence

Long text-based pages can slow understanding and lead to missed steps. Zight helps your team:

• Record walkthrough videos to explain processes, roadmaps, or strategy docs

• Annotate screenshots to clarify UI changes, diagrams, or flows

• Create GIFs to visually show step-by-step tasks

• Use AI Smart Actions to summarize meetings, SOPs, or documentation into digestible bullets

When added to Confluence, Zight turns your static pages into dynamic, interactive resources.
