# Review Confluence pages on a schedule

To bring Confluence pages back for review on a schedule, set an expiry. Set it on one page in the approval options, on a team, or for a whole space with **Approval expiry** on the **Overrides** tab of **Space Approval Settings**. When it lapses, Capable resets the approval and asks the reviewers again.

## Before you start

| **You need**                   | **Why**                                                                          |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Space administrator permission | For a space-wide schedule. Anyone raising an approval can set one on their page. |

## Steps for a whole space

1. In the space, open **Space settings**, then **Capable** (**Capable Approval** if you use the standalone app), to reach **Space Approval Settings**.
2. Select the **Overrides** tab.
3. Turn on **Approval expiry**.
4. Choose 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year, a custom interval (at least 7 days), or an exact date.
5. Save your changes.

For a single page, open **Approval** under the page title, select the settings cog and set **Expiry** instead. The most specific setting wins.

## What happens next

* The clock starts once the approval is approved or rejected. It is not a deadline for answering.
* Expiry is checked once an hour, so it can arrive up to an hour after the date.
* Reviewers are reset and notified. For a team approval, Capable asks the team as it stands today: new members get a request, people who have left are not asked.
