How to handle/prevent deprecated content in Confluence?

Dear Community,

I have a question regarding the management of deprecated content in Confluence.
I would like to know if you use any specific strategies or tips to keep a substantial amount of content up to date.

Thank you kindly for your support and insights.

Best regards,

The Better Content Archiving app provides a wide range of lifecycle management management features for your Confluence content.

For your use case it offers these features:

1. It will detect expired pages 
   1. expiration can be because of not being edited for N days
   2. expiration can occur on a given date (which can be specified for each page or even for a page tree)
2. It will notify those who could/should update it
3. If they don't update, it can help to archive it and that way clean up your content and improved its overall quality

You can find strategies used by LinkedIn and best practices and general tips in the documentation.

Hi @Janni ,

We make a free addon, called Keep it up to date!  This lets you add a macro to a page which shows outdated content.  It's quite simple to use.
