Customers would like to search for expired, up-to-date, soon to be archived, etc pages within Confluence.
Allow searching for pages with specific statuses
-
Onni Nieminen I agree! Our users doesn't have Space Admin permissions so they cannot see Page status tab on Space Tools.

Aron Gombas UPDATE: We have released the Better Content Archiving app's cloud version just a few weeks ago. It addresses many points criticized in the Data Center version, including also this one.
(Our plan is that, if there is interest, we will back-port the most valuable changes from the Cloud version to the Data Center one.)
As the easiest way, any user (not only admins) can browse the pages with specific statuses per space using the Content Status Overview page.
In the screenshot above, you can see how to view the list of expired pages in a space.
Plus, if you need an actual search, the status field can be searched in CQL queries. It enables super-flexible searches like:
space in (FOO,BAR,BAZ)
and arch.status = "Expired"
and author = currentUser()This search would return the expired pages from those 3 spaces, originally created by the current user. Do you get the idea?
