For: Page editors.
Add a Follow button for a team, partner or event account. When readers click it, X opens in a new tab. They follow from their own X account. They do not have to search for it.
Live example
On a partner page, put a Follow button by each account. Readers choose whom to follow on X.
Try it: this button is for @Atlassian. A click opens X in a new tab, where you can follow the account from your own X account.
Before you start
-
You can edit this page.
-
You have a public profile URL or @username.
-
You do not need an X API key.
Confluence asks readers before it opens X. They follow the account there, from their own account. X may ask them to sign in.
Add it to a page

Open the page’s insert menu. Choose Follow Button.

Enter a profile URL or @username in Item to share.
-

-
Choose Insert.
-
On a regular page, publish or update it. Others can then see what you added.
To change it later, open its editor.
