In Confluence, labels are user defined and can be used across the spaces.

With that said, you can view the most-used labels or all labels in the space -- or choose **See content from all spaces** from the cog icon to view labeled content from all spaces in your Confluence site.

And I found this from Atlassian documentation if that helps \>\> You can also navigate to the labels view for a space by entering the following URL (replace SPACEKEY with the space's key):  

    <your.Confluence.site>/labels/listlabels-alphaview.action?key=SPACEKEY

body: Hi [@G subramanyam](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3929184) I'm asking about status labels that are offered in 6 colours.

How shall I find all those status labels and filter them by colours?

body: Hi [@Souro](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4894949) thank you for the reply.

If I understand your query correctly, than in the Confluence space type ***/status***and find the populated colors with the box. You can type text and choose colors.

body: Hi [@G subramanyam](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3929184) , yes I've done that, now how to find all the status labels create in a space? I know this is possible for plain labels with the labels macro. However, I need to find out about all the status labels used in a space? I need to find out that list for better analysis.


author: G subramanyam
body: Got your point.

At the moment I haven't explored on that part. Looping in [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) to help and share details on this.

body: They are not labels, they are macros (functions on cloud)

I'm not aware of any way to search for the usage of functions.

body: Hi

We're also looking for the same thing. We have been using the ++plain labels++ but we are looking to automate or find an app that will help manage bulk add, update or replace ++Status Labels macro++ on each page.

Any recommended apps that can do this?

Thanks
