See who approved a Confluence page and which version

To see who approved a Confluence page and which version they approved, select Approval under the page title and open the history. Each row shows the time, person, action, status change, comment and page version, and a padlock marks responses signed with an authenticator code. Nothing is ever removed.


#Before you start

You need

Why

Permission to read the page

Signed-out readers see the status only, never the event list.


#Steps

  1. Select Approval under the page title.

  2. Select the history icon.

  3. The history is grouped into version cards. Each closed card is a finished round of review, kept exactly as it was.

  4. Select the version link on a row to open that version of the page in Confluence.

For a controlled document, add the approval macro to the page with History as its display mode, so every reader sees the record without having to know where to click.


#Good to know

  • Answers from Slack and Microsoft Teams are recorded exactly like answers on the page.

  • Approvals moved from the standalone Capable Approval app carry an Imported badge.

  • Administrative changes, such as settings, team membership and authenticator resets, are not in the history.

  • For many pages at once, use Search and reporting. Only the history view shows the signed padlock.



Every decision, on the record, for as long as you need it.
