filter for recently created articles
Asked by Petra R?th:

Hello,   
I would like to filter for the most recent created articles, for example the last two weeks. I know that I can use "Advanced search" and use the preset "Last updated: Past 30 days", but it gives me all newly created **plus** the updated pages, here is a screenshot:

![Confluence_lastUpdated.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/322060i5807E3E4F12068DE/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence_lastUpdated.png")

I need to narrow down the results: I would like to get a list of **only the newly created**pages. How can I do that?

Confluence Databases allows you to apply time filters to 'last updated' or to 'created'....

I wrote [this article](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Use-Databases-for-your-docs-life-cycle-management/ba-p/2663479) that has a link to a video that shows you how to add all space pages into a database.

I actually found this trick of copying links a few weeks ago, when I needed to have all our pages (around 1.500) in an excel document. I guess a database as you use it would have been as helpful at this point.   
I don't know how to get this Database add-on. Is is a feature I can request? Probably I would have to ask our admin for that. I will give it a try.

Go to Confluence Settings, Configuration, New Features and enable Databases.

....atlassian.net/wiki/admin/newfeatures

(it's still in Beta - <https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/databases> )

There's also this free app [Pages Manager](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1232122/pages-manager-for-confluence-bulk-organize-edit-archive?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) by Riksoft and it does offer similar functionality.

If you are open to 3rd party apps, the [Viewtracker](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/28637/viewtracker-analytics-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app offers in its [Content \& Usage Report](https://docs.bitvoodoo.app/viewtracker-analytics-for-confluence-cloud/content-usage-report) the possibility [to filter](https://docs.bitvoodoo.app/viewtracker-analytics-for-confluence-cloud/content-usage-report-content#Content&UsageReport:Content-Filters) for newly created content for the desired date range.

Kind regards,

Mattia

body: Thank you Mattia,

I am still trying to get the Pages Manager installed. Unfortunately, it takes a while until a request goes through IT. If the Pages addon is not solving the problem, I will give Viewtracker a try. Thank you for your suggestion!

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/advanced-searching-fields-reference-939938743.html>

Now I was wondering if I could not solve this above described problem as well. Because when you use the advanced search, the URL in the browser shows for example this:  
https:// \[...\] .atlassian.net/wiki/search?spaces=TYPE\&**lastModified**=past30Days

Why not simply modify it similar to this?  
https:// \[...\] .atlassian.net/wiki/search?spaces=TYPE\&**created**=past30Days

Unfortunately it didn't work. So I guess this is not a valid way :/
