Lifecycle management at the parent level

Question

Are there any apps that do Lifecycle management at the parent level? Currently, many apps do lifecycle management at the space level; however, I have a use case where there are many parent pages within one space, and each parent might belong to different owners.

I'd like the ability to view archive/renewal status by parent page. The ability to view pages by owner would be great too.

Breeze is pretty close; however, I need the ability to drill down one level down to view parent pages within the space.

Hi @Sharon Liu and welcome.

You can look at Scroll Documents by K15t. The app allows you to create 'documents' within a space. A document can be, for example, a section of the tree topped by a specific parent page.

You can have multiple scroll documents in a space and you can 'version' each of them by having one working version and then creating a snapshot when done.

@Sharon Liu I'm not sure what function "parent pages" fulfill in your spaces, or what exactly you mean by lifecycle management on the page level, but I encourage you to take a look at the lifecycle management capabilities of Better Content Archiving and Analytics for Confluence, the go-to content lifecycle management tool of Confluence users large and small.

For automatic lifecycle management: you can use precise CQL queries to determine CLM rules for single pages, parent pages in your case.

For page status overview: you can use the advanced reporting dashboards or page status macro to display and understand page status.

A few of the many advantages:

* CQL gives you ultimate granularity in defining rules for pages, page trees, spaces, etc.
* Using the pages status macro, you can display pages grouped by their owner

* Page statuses are applied automatically based on your rules, no manual adjustment is needed
* Archiving, deletion, and notifications are also performed automatically

There are multiple status-related dashboards you use, see some examples:

Or you can use a page status macro to list only your "parent pages" and show their statuses:
