Who are the most active users (contributors) per space?
Which content has not been visited or should be updated?
Which attachments have been viewed or downloaded?
Which Confluence searches return no results?
How have the instanceβs content and activities evolved?
π₯ The data of all reports can be exported or accessed via API.
