Is temporary text highlighting possible?

Nikki Rosenberg November 4, 2025

Is it possible to highlight a piece of text in a Confluence article for a temporary period? The goal is to highlight new sections or updates to sections so it is easy for users to see what changed on a page. The highlighted text should automatically un-highlight after a few weeks. 

 

I know this is manually possible using the recent highlighting addition, however preferably we do not need to come back to articles to un-highlight content and it would be done automatically. I don't think this is possible in Confluence itself, but maybe there is an add-on someone can recommend?

 

Thanks!

Hi Nikki

I never heard of such a feature but it is an interesting idea. I can not find a Martketplace app that does this.

By default users can compare versions of a page by going to the version history. What has changed will be highlighted.
You could also add a Change History macro on the pages for users to see there was a recent change.
