Page status, a new way to keep your team informed!

[Matthew McGarity]

The announcement email was titled "Our biggest release yet", and we get...non-reportable page statuses and a YouTube channel announcement.  Hyperbole, anyone?

Before this change, we would use the /status macro in a page properties table, so we could roll-up statuses to a central tracking page.  This new page-level status value doesn't solve for that, so we likely won't use it.

However, page status has potential to be useful if:

• You allow for some roll-up reporting
• The value shows in page trees (left-hand menu, or Children List macros, etc.  This could be as simple as displaying the color swatch vs. full label
• The value shows up in search results, so users clearly understand what's canon vs. in-progress

[Ari Velazquez]

Adding to the chorus. This is nice but would be 10000x more useful if there were associated macros that could show reports.

[Benjamin Rosenek]

What would take this from being cute to being useful for our org would be adding visibility in page navigation on the left, even if it was just a colored circle to match the status. Really lazy mockup below.

Yawn.... more silk purse.. sow's ear ... 

[Áron Gyenes]

Hi! Is there any way to limit which users can update the status of the page?

[Reinhard Mayr]

(How) can I search for pages with a given status?

[Nicholas Wade]

Yawn! This is nothing more than another sticker, which has NO functionality other than what can be made up by over zealous copy writers.

[Vladan Radmilovic]

Please integrate page statuses with various page summary macros (Children Display, Table of Contents, Page Tree)

[Charlie Misonne]

I created 2 feature requests that would greatly improve this new feature:

Add option to show page status in various macros
Include page status in Confluence search (the description should be adapted for this one but I can't)

Hey dear Atlassian, I like it on the one side cause it is more visible on top of the page, on the other side I agree with @jessier above & @Jean Waucomont  it is definitely missing to get it displayed in any report. Are you planning to add there as well & when can we expect that?

[Tim Kauger]

This is an excellent first step but isn't very useful beyond being a visual aid. This can't be tied to automations, nor can we pull page status into any sort of data-gathering or tracking tools. Just echoing what everyone else has said so far. Please make this better!

[Kris K_]

@Tim Kauger Exactly, this screams to have a practical impact on page-based workflow and automation.

[Dario Ligero]

Please, "Status Analytics" to improve the documentation of certain spaces!!!!

SPACE  >   

• 35% pages in "Rough draft"   >>> Show pages list 
• 35% pages in "In progress"  >>> Show pages list 
• 30% pages in "Ready for review"  >>> Show pages list 

Thanks!!!!

Hi, 

i really like the new status approach and the possibility to track the status over time in the page history. 

The only thing i am missing is some report to create an overview over my pages including their status. 

Is atlassian providing that?

[Vincent van der Meer]

This is nice! It would be great if I could use it with Confluence automation and Confluence permissions. E.g set a new content status when the page is edited or restrict editing of pages to certain users/groups when labelled with a certain content status.

[Linda Stolk]

Is there a way to create a 'page report' with the statuses (similar to the 'page report' for action items) whereby it displays the title/link to the page and the status beside it?

[Davide Legacci]

I also join in with above users:

• Let us search for pages per status (report macro)

[Tamsyn O'Leary]

I'm the administrator of our team space in confluence and I have this functionality to add statuses (also emojis and header image), which is great but annoying that you have to edit the page to change the status. However, I have noticed that my team members don't have this functionality when they create, edit a page in our space. Is there some kind of setting/permission I haven't enabled? Content Statuses is turned on. Thanks

[Andreas Bosshart]

Great feature. I hope, the status will soon be displayed in the page tree macros.

[Lukas Gotter _ Meetical]

Interesting feature! Is there an (official) API for this? See my post in the dev community here https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/page-content-status-get-and-set-via-rest-api/63789 - Thanks!

[Carsten Sauter]

Nice feature, but useless without any possibility of reporting or filtering. After wasting hours for "how to simple report the main standard status of a page" I found this community article ...

==> Please add a possibility to use the information about the standard status of a page within page-property at least. Thank you in advance.

[Adrian Hülsmann - B1NARY]

Hey community,

If native page status is too limited for your use case, you might check out Breeze, available via the Atlassian Marketplace.

It implements automated review and archiving workflows and provides dedicated views for outdated pages ready to review or archive.

In addition, its feature set includes

• automated content analyses,
• page review and archiving workflows,
• page and space ownership,
• reports and notifications,
• bulk archiving and deletion,
• analytics,
• data export for processing all your content, ownership and status information  via CSV
• and more to update outdated pages quickly and enhance collaboration.

👉 To anyone interested, feel free to give it a try or schedule an appointment with me for a personal demo.

Cheers, Adrian from B1NARY (the developers of Breeze)

Just found the page today and I am excited to see this feature. Our current solution is to use a Status macro in a Page Properties macro. We then use a Page Properties Report macro to report on page statuses.

Unfortunately, the current feature has no way to report on it so we won't be using it. Perhaps add it to the Page Properties Report macro?

As a sample use case:  we have a Confluence space which manages the lifecycle for ~100 process documents. These are then published to another site when ready for publishing. We have a fortnightly session to review the lifecycle. We use Page Properties Report macro to quickly find pages in "Ready for publishing" status.

[Guillaume Cheseaux]

Great idea and great potential!

But implementing that feature without allowing us to list the pages with a specific status in a report or to search for pages with a specific status, is not great 😖

[Lucas Mazzino]

Completely agree with you Guillaume Cheseaux !!!
