Does Confluence Data Center Retention delete active pages after retention period

[Cecile Kerr]

If we enable a retention rules for page versions by age, like 5 years for example, and if the current/active page hasn't been edited for 5 years, will it get deleted?

Or does it only apply to past revisions of a page?

@Cecile Kerr would it be helpful if we brought Content Retention Manager for Confluence Cloud to Data Center?

[Cecile Kerr]

Yes, this would be very helpful to make sure that pages stay relevant.  Thank you for considering it!

Ok! We’ll start exploring it. We are just wrapping up our Jira Retention Management app launch.

Upon further searching I did find this

"It's important to note that for page and attachment versions, the latest version is never deleted, only the history. Retention rules never prevent people from creating new versions."

Unfortunately we are looking for a capability to identify "stale" pages for potential for cleanup with filters for latest views and last edit.
