Confluence contents retention policy

[Gaurav Tapadkar]

I have 2 questions.

• Does Confluence have any limit on displaying pages or attachments versions?
• Is the any retention policy in Confluence by default?

Current version of Confluence we are using int 5.1.5

Thanks,

@Gaurav Tapadkar years later, and pertaining to cloud, this question persists across the community. By default the first answer remains: there is no limit on versions displayed as @Boris Berenberg called out.

However, for retention policies, while there is no default in Confluence, Content Retention Manager for Confluence is now available in the Atlassian Marketplace, which allows you to set global retention policies, automatically delete and purge old content to help save space and remain complaint with ISO/SOC2.

As for retention policy, you should have a look at the Archiving Plugin.

It allows defining retention rules:

• triggered by conditions like "if the page was not updated in the last N days", "if the page was not viewed in the last N days", etc.
• and then archive the pages that meet these conditions

Read the plugin docs

1. No, you can have an infinite number of versions. Caveat: I expect this will negatively impact performance if this number gets exceedingly large.
2. In terms of time? No. Nothing is deleted or removed without user interaction.
