    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Customers want the ability to:

      • Remove old versions of pages older than specific date (e.g. get rid of anything older than 6 months)
      • Limit the number of old versions kept (e.g. limit to 5 previous versions)

      In order to:

      • Reduce the database usage of Confluence, particularly on frequently- or automatically-updated pages
      • Comply with legislative document destruction requirements (e.g. delete content older than some years).

      These tasks could be done manually via space admin, or triggered by an automatic housekeeping task.

            This is great. However, we can't combine the retention rules offered to have both 'number of versions' and 'time period' in Confluence. There is an enhancement request to bring this option to Confluence:  CONFSERVER-79757 - Combination of Retention Policies for Confluence

            I suspect a lot of users here would want that ability too so your votes on that will help.

            Dear Customers,

             

            I'm closing this ticket down as this feature was implemented in Confluence DC 7.16, as mentioned above the release notes are here, apologies for leaving this ticket open. The feature was implemented to be configurable on a site-wide basis, or a space wide basis, but not specifically on a per-page level. Here's the full documentation for how this feature works if you wish to explore further.

            Thanks to all those who waited for this feature, I hope you find it useful when administrating Confluence DC, cheers!
