Confluence pages and content - aging and archiving/deleting

[Steven Gara]

Hello, there are a series of pages in Confluence that I need to organize but first I need to determine how old and stale the information is versus the most recent.  Then I have to take the old information/links and archive them.  Can anyone let me know:

1) How can you tell the age of a confluence page or it's content? Is there any way to do that easily?

2) Once age has been determined, is there a way to archive and/or delete the page, link or content and how?

Hi @Steven Gara 

If this is still of interest and using an app is an option for your company, I heartily suggest trying the Content & Usage Report in our app Viewtracker. There are filters to look for unedited content, content without views, among many others.

I wrote about this report and its uses on our blog in detail.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Steven Gara welcome to the community. If you want to search the created date of confluence pages programmatically you can do that via REST API. For bulk archiving refer this article.

HI Steven,

If you look under the Title of most pages there will be a Month Date Year tag in the form MMM,DD,YYYY so this give the date the page was Started.

Often there is a clear date on the page stating last updated: Such as this one:

Last updated: Oct 24, 2019 by JoeBlogs

SO that is one way to see how old a page is.

To Archive you need Admin rights that allow this, but generally if it is a page you own, go to the page editor and the three dots on the right side will open a new menu that gives options to Export, Archive, Move, Copy, Delete

I hope this helps :-)
