Confluence search index (CQL)

There is nothing to set up, but page lists can lag a little behind your changes.


#How

When a page is published, Publishing marks both the source page and the published copy so that Confluence can search for them. That mark is what makes a page show as "Published page", and it is what the space page lists, dashboard counts and bulk selections all rely on. Because those views read Confluence's search index rather than the live page, they can take a while to catch up after a change.
