The new layout manager is coming to Confluence

Page-layout is a technical update to the new Confluence navigation for further performance optimization. It’s a whole new way to lay out top navigation, side navigation, and page content on a page, user generated or system rendered.

This is now available to the Ecosystem Beta Group instances that were already signed up.

The initial notice has been updated with a section called Plan for known issues

Plan for known issues

We’ve identified a couple of issues with this technical update. They result in horizontal scroll showing up when an app utilities the entire page content area (as illustrated in the architectural comparison). This could leave little to no right margin for the affected app experience and potentially cut off some pixels of clickable visual elements provided by the app.
We’ll be fixing issues like this before releasing this technical update to production customers. Stay tuned.
