# Find Confluence pages whose approval is about to expire

To find Confluence pages whose approval is about to expire, check the **Expiring** panel on the Approval dashboard, or open **Expiring soon** under **Your approvals** in the sidebar. For a standing report across a space or the whole site, build a Capable Search view sorted by **Expires at**.

## Steps

1. Open Capable, then Approval.
2. The **Expiring** panel covers a month back and a month ahead, so recently lapsed and about-to-lapse pages sit together.
3. For your own approvals, open **Expiring soon** or **Expired** under **Your approvals** in the sidebar.
4. In Capable Search, add the **Expires at** column, sort by it, and filter to the space you care about.
5. Use **Copy CQL** from the results menu to share the query with your team.

## Good to know

* Expiry is checked once an hour, so a page can still show as approved for up to an hour after its date.
* Rejected pages expire on the same schedule as approved ones.
* Many quality teams run this as a standing report at a monthly review meeting.
