We have published an updated Privacy Policy for GoEdit for Confluence Cloud to reflect the latest changes to our software and data handling practices. GoEdit has been completely redesigned, including a new Confluence macro for managing attachments and a new desktop application for managing files locally. The new Version will be public available around October. As part of this update, we have further strengthened our privacy approach. Attachments are stored exclusively in Confluence Cloud and on the user’s desktop. The updated Privacy Policy provides more details about how GoEdit handles and protects user data.

Our updated Privacy Policy valid on 1st October 2026 is available here: GoEdit Privacy Policy

• GoEdit does not use the affected OpenSSL 3.x library
• Instead GoEdit only uses the secure OpenSSL 1.1.1 which is not affected from the current issue

• GoEdit for Confluence Cloud does not use Log4j, thus it is not affected.

• GoEdit for Confluence/Jira on Server/Data Center uses the Log4j version of Atlassia (bundled with Atlassian) – so if Atlassians Confluence is not affected, GoEdit is neither. In addition, GoEdit does not log any user-input data with Log4j, so even if Confluence would be affected by the Log4j bug, it could not be exploited within GoEdit.

GoEdit now comes with a new completely modernized and revamped attachment locking function including new features and many improvements.

Features

• Now the popover dialogs and buttons are displaying when and by whom a document is locked.
• Users can also see the locking duration and can point out too long lockings.
• A new feature links directly to the currently editing users profile and helps to get in contact.

Benefits for your company

The vast amount of attachments available on companies management systems often leads to a confusing surface, slowing work progression. Smart Attachments helps to clean up the clutter of attachments, in a way that the company benefits greatly from it, e.g. by ordering attachments in an easy to find manner, regardless of how many attachments there are – this saves time by either creating a employee-friendly environment as well as lowering the average seek time needed to find a specific attachment.

In addition to the free build-in attachment checkout and locking functionality of GoEdit, you can now also run GoEdit with your Arsenale Lockpoint functionality.

Feature Highlights

• Lockpoint’s locking and unlocking functions are seamlessly integrated into GoEdit
• GoEdit “Edit attachment” function locks files in Arsenale Lockpoint automatically
• “Save” & “Cancel” within the GoEdit dialog automatically unlock Lockpoint file locks
• GoEdit file locks are displayed by Arsenale Lockpoint’s regular user interface

More to come – the future!
Future releases of GoEdit will extend checkout and locking functionality so you don´t have to buy Arsenale Lockpoint as a separate plugin.

Planned features are:

• System wide checkout and locking of all Confluence and JIRA attachments
• Users can manually check-in /-out attachments
• Checkout and locking of further 3rd party contents (Gliffy, Lucidcharts etc.)

GoEdit for Confluence is ready for Atlassian Cloud. Goedit leaves it’s beta state and is finally production ready for the cloud version of Atlassian Confluence.

New build-in attachment checkout functionality

GoEdit for JIRA and Confluence now comes with a free build-in attachment checkout functionality to ensure, only one particular user can edit an attachment at a time.
