Can I schedule a page to auto-delete or auto-hide?

eCampus Center Staff November 10, 2023

I would like to have specific pages automatically hidden or deleted on a specific date. Dates would vary depending on the page.  I don't mind if they need to be cleaned up later on and official deleted, but I want to have a page disappear for users without having to schedule a time to manually remove the page. 

Is this possible?  Or is there a free add-on? Funds will not be made available.

Hi @eCampus Center Staff , The automation in Confluence is an administrative feature that's accessible in Confluence Premium and Enterprise plans.

If you're subscribed to one of these plans, you can find guidance on creating automation rules at: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/create-automation-rules-in-confluence/.

and I don't think there are free add-ons that support this feature.

The Better Content Archiving app can implement this in an intuitive way and it is free for 10 users!

Steps:

  1. Using the Set archiving quick action you can pick a specific date for each page, or you can pick a date for a whole page tree:

  2. Then using an automation you can run a job periodically which checks which page reached its date, and then auto-archive or auto-delete it:
