Does Atlassian provide any best practices for Housekeeping our tools JIRA & Confluence

Question

Does Atlassian provide any best practices / training for Housekeeping our tools JIRA & Confluence.

The size of the tool software has increased a lot over the years. We need to do some clean up from the JIRA database of components which are not used.

Workflows :: Let's begin with W/F's. We have 100's of W/F's in our JIRA database, some used, some unused.

How do we do a cleanup of all unwanted / unused workflows.

Pls guide.

THX,

Adil

There is no such thing as "workflow" in the Confluence core features, so I guess you are talking about Jira here.

For Jira, there is an official guide to delete unused workflows published by Atlassian themselves: https://confluence.atlassian.com/clean/advanced-cleanup-1018789335.html

Thanks.

Is there a way to archive Workflows (unused) ?

To clean up Confluence and prevent turning that into chaos in the future, many use our app.

It won't clean up your configuration (like unused group), but your content (not-viewed or not-updated pages, expired ones, etc.). It works automatically and archives things instead of permanently deleting them.
