Lifecycle management at the parent level
Asked by Sharon Liu:

Are there any apps that do Lifecycle management at the parent level? Currently, many apps do lifecycle management at the space level; however, I have a use case where there are many parent pages within one space, and each parent might belong to different owners.

I'd like the ability to view archive/renewal status by parent page. The ability to view pages by owner would be great too.

Breeze is pretty close; however, I need the ability to drill down one level down to view parent pages within the space.

body: [@Sharon Liu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5421346) I'm not sure what function "parent pages" fulfill in your spaces, or what exactly you mean by lifecycle management on the page level, but I encourage you to take a look at the lifecycle management capabilities of [Better Content Archiving and Analytics for Confluence,](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/123/better-content-archiving-and-analytics-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_campaign=gh&utm_medium=cac-comment-2690493&utm_source=cac) the go-to content lifecycle management tool of Confluence users large and small.

For automatic lifecycle management: you can use precise CQL queries to determine CLM rules for single pages, parent pages in your case.

For page status overview: you can use the advanced reporting dashboards or page status macro to display and understand page status.

A few of the many advantages:

1. CQL gives you ultimate granularity in defining rules for pages, page trees, spaces, etc.
2. Using the pages status macro, you can display pages grouped by [their owner](https://www.midori-global.com/blog/2023/09/24/confluence-page-owner?utm_campaign=gh&utm_medium=cac-comment&utm_source=cac)

3. [Page statuses are applied automatically](https://www.midori-global.com/blog/2023/04/28/confluence-page-status?utm_campaign=gh&utm_medium=cac-comment&utm_source=cac) based on your rules, no manual adjustment is needed
4. Archiving, deletion, and [notifications](https://www.midori-global.com/blog/2023/05/24/confluence-notification-and-reminder-to-page-owners) are also performed automatically

There are multiple status-related dashboards you use, see some examples:

Or you can use a page status macro to list only your "parent pages" and show their statuses:

You can look at [Scroll Documents](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217608/scroll-documents-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) by K15t. The app allows you to create 'documents' within a space. A document can be, for example, a section of the tree topped by a specific parent page.

You can have multiple scroll documents in a space and you can 'version' each of them by having one working version and then creating a snapshot when done.
