Page activity macro

Page activity macro

 

Overview

The Page Activity Macro is used to display the activity report on a page. It's great for displaying recent activity in a page header or footer.

Permissions and report visibility

All users can see the report when the macro is added

  • On a page without a workflow, all the page activity is displayed, but all the state indicator circles are grey (confused or unconfirmed workflow state), as no workflow is applied

  • On a page with an unrestricted workflow (which does not define a final=true state), all the page activity is displayed

When a workflow includes a final state, the user’s Confluence permissions affect what is displayed in the rendered report.

When the macro is added on a page with an applied workflow with a state defined as the final state ( final=true state parameter)

  • Users with edit or admin permissions see the full report

  • View-only users only see entries up to the point at which the most recent published (final=true) state was entered

If the page has not yet reached the final state, view-only users cannot view the page or the report.

Same-space publishing

If your workflow uses same-space publishing - the workflow has a state that is defined as the final state - the page activity report only lists entries up to and including the most recently published version of content.
