Scheduling reminders to review page content
Asked by Tal Badehi:

Hello, I'm new to Confluence automation. Can you please point me towards the best solution for triggering alerts when a page is **not** **edited** over x days?

I am looking to receive regular reminders to review content in my documentation, but only for the pages, but not for pages that I updated recently.

Something like this.

This will ensure that each page author (or owner depending on which you care about) will receive only one email with all the pages they need to review.

It is an app built for powerful content lifecycle management:

Related to your case, tracking outdated page, a few of the notable differences vs Confluence Cloud Automation:

1. You can [see the status](https://midori-global.com/products/better-content-archiving-for-confluence/cloud/documentation/track-the-content-status) on the top of each page with analytics (who updated and viewed it in the last N days).
2. You can have multiple "expired" kind of statuses (like "not updated for 60 days" and "not updated for 100 days", "not updated for 365 days).
3. You can allow your users [select a specific expiration date](https://midori-global.com/products/better-content-archiving-for-confluence/cloud/documentation/manage-the-content-lifecycle/quick-actions#set-expiration) for each page or for a whole page tree.
4. You can have the same tracking for blog posts.
5. You can [customize the exact conditions](https://midori-global.com/products/better-content-archiving-for-confluence/cloud/documentation/configure/content-status-schemes) of when a page becomes expired. (You can express with a powerful CQL query that can contain multiple criteria and logical operators.)
6. You can have [multiple notifications](https://midori-global.com/products/better-content-archiving-for-confluence/cloud/documentation/configure/notification-schemes), using different schedule and different email templates.
7. You can apply this settings consistently to a group of spaces. (Configurations are saved to so-called schemes and you can apply schemes to spaces.)
8. You can view the current state of your site and your individual spaces on [powerful dashboards](https://midori-global.com/products/better-content-archiving-for-confluence/cloud/documentation/content-status/content-status-overview).
9. ...and a lot more!
