Use a Content Flow configuration page to create, edit, and remove a Page Status.

Page Statuses are used in Content Flow workflows and when organizations want to add a special status label to a Confluence page. Learn how to add, edit, and delete a Page Status from a Content Flow configuration page.

Navigate to the Page Statuses configuration page.

Only users with System Administrator privileges may access this page. There are two ways to get there:

  1. Navigate via Confluence Administration menu:


    Gear icon in the Confluence header → General Configuration → Page Statuses link, under Brikit Content Flow in the sidebar



  2. Direct URL:


    <your Confluence base URL>/contentflow/global/pagestatuses.action

To edit an existing status, click the corresponding pencil icon

You may change the Status name (a human-readable display name) or its label. Note that changes to an existing label do not automatically change that label on pages that have have that label; rather, a change here means that the change is from this point forward.

To delete a status, click the corresponding "x" icon.

If the "x" button is greyed-out or disabled, it means that the Status is currently being used on a page. You are not able to delete an active Status. Locate the page(s) where the Status is being used and change the status, then return to delete the unused Status.

To add a new status, click "Add"

Then add a human-readable name and a label. The label must conform to the Confluence label requirements, namely: lowercase, without spaces or special characters except underscores or hyphens. Statuses must be unique and not conflict with existing Confluence labels.

Renaming page statuses will require a site reindex for the new name to be searchable. Please re-build the site index to make it so.

  1. Replace me with something to note about this how-to entry that falls outside the scope of all other sections; and
  2. Add the tight-bottom class to the next visible/non-collapsed block above this one to narrow the gap between the two blocks.
