Improvements

We have implemented verified domains in External Share for Confluence. This feature allows you to verify your domain, allowing users to skip email verification when registering via Single Sign-On (SSO).
...
How it works
Navigate to Global Settings → SSO Configuration → Domains
Enter your domain name and receive TXT record (Domain Status → Unverified)
Update your DNS with the TXT Record
Verify the domain - Confirm verification by checking the DNS record. (Domain Status → Verified)
Users with verified domain emails are auto-verified during user registration.
