Problem
When performing bulk archival of pages via the REST API (e.g., /wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}/archive or v1 equivalents), Confluence sends notifications to all watchers. For large-scale cleanup or automated archival, this results in significant notification spam for users.
Suggested Solution
Add an optional query parameter (e.g., {}{suppressNotifications=true}) to the Archive Page REST API endpoints to allow API consumers to archive content silently.
Why This Is Important
- Enterprise customers performing automated lifecycle management of thousands of pages who wish to avoid overwhelming their users with emails/in-app notifications.
Workaround
There is no work around currently available.
