Approval for Confluence

Capable Approval turns any Confluence page into a controlled document. Ask named people or a standing team to sign it off, decide how many of them have to agree, and get a permanent record of who approved what, and against which version of the page. When the page changes, the approval resets, so a signature never outlives the content it was given for.

#Working to a standard

If you are working to SOC 2, ISO 9001, ISO 27001 or FDA 21 CFR Part 11, Compliance sets out exactly which requirements Capable covers, which it covers partly, and which it does not. It also has a suggested configuration for a regulated space. Known limitations lists every boundary in one place, so nothing surprises you halfway through a rollout.


#How it fits with the rest of Capable

Approval is one capability in Capable for Confluence. It shares the byline under the page title with the others, and it feeds four of them directly: Search can filter and report on approval state across a whole site, Publishing can push a page live the moment it is approved, Sites can show approval state to your public readers, and Rovo lets you ask about approvals in plain language.
