Moderating changes to Confluence pages

[glennproctor]

Is there a way to have moderators/approvers for Confluence OnDemand pages?

We have a set of documentation which we store in Confluence. We want only some users to be able to edit these, which of course is achievable with the standard permissions.

What we want to do for these pages in particular though is force all changes made by anyone to be approved by someone else before they go live. I can't see that this is possible right now.

We're using Confluence OnDemand so using a plugin is not (currently) possible. Any suggestions or should we just wait until plugins are available in Confluence OnDemand and a suitable vendor ports theirs?

Thanks in advance

Glenn.

Mostly not possible in OnDemand now. Needs to achieve this by getting people educated about the usage, like:

• Keep a note on top of the page mentioning that the document is in draft
• Make necessary security restrictions so that it is not searchable and readable by public
• Use the Workbox functionality to define tasks for the reviewers (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Managing+Tasks+in+Confluence)

Is there any chance for this feature to be integrated soon?

We're in need for some kind of admin/approval system too.

Thanks for the pointers Renjith, we will come up with a workaround for now and revisit the situation once the plugin situation for OnDemand improves.
