Thresholds configuration

Thresholds are the numbers that decide when content becomes Stale or Inactive. They are defined per scheme, so different spaces can use different rules.

Threshold configuration

The two thresholds

Stale daysHow many days since last modified before a page is Stale90
Not-viewed daysHow many days since last viewed before a page is Inactive60

How they affect statuses

When ConfluClean computes a page's status, it compares the page against the thresholds in its space's scheme:

  • If the page has not been modified for more than the stale days value, it can be flagged Stale.
  • If the page has not been viewed for more than the not-viewed days value, it can be flagged Inactive.

Because Inactive has higher priority than Stale, a page that trips both thresholds is shown as Inactive. See How statuses are computed.

Choosing good values

  • Shorter thresholds surface aging content sooner - good for fast-moving spaces.
  • Longer thresholds reduce noise - good for stable reference material.

Adjust the thresholds, then watch your Content Health Score over the following weeks to see the effect.
