is there a macro that will show pages that have not been updated in X days?

Question

We are looking for a way to flag pages within our various spaces in our home or main page that lists pages that have not been updated in "x" amount of days - essentially identifying stale documentation that has not been updated in an allotted period - or not at all (so creation = modification). We are already using the what's new in our pages but wanted to know a way to list pages that in these cases, would not be considered "new" or updated.

Hi @Marc -Devoteam- - thanks so much for your helpful reply! I was able to locate the template in Confluence, but I'm encountering issues when I try to adjust/modify the rule template to fit our team's use-case.

I have replaced the template's 'inactive' branch rule, because Confluence defines 'inactive' as a page that has not been viewed; I would prefer to use the last updated date for each page instead.

I've included a screenshot of my current rule below, which is accurately applying to some pages in our team space, but not others. (For example, there is one page where the last updated date is in April 2024, with no page labels, and the automation does not add the 'annual review' label as specified.)

Not sure if my issue is how 'last modified' is defined, or if there's a limit on pages for rule automation, or if it's user error...Do you have any suggested adjustments to my rule?

(Also worth noting that I am testing this rule using a manual trigger, rather than scheduled in our sandbox environment.)

Hi CSanders@fhi360.org

It's in a default rule in Confluence, like a template.

Go to Confluence Automation (available with a premium Confluence subscription) and there is a templates section, there you will find the rule.

Hi, do you have an example of this rule? I've attempted to build this several ways (where the rule runs on an annually scheduled basis and labels pages that have not been updated within the last year, except for those that have the 'evergreen' label applied). Each time I test the rule, it does not seem to accurately apply.
