# Find outdated Confluence pages

To find outdated Confluence pages, turn on the **Stale content** rule on the Capable Quality **Rules** page and choose how old counts as stale in **Not updated in:**. Save, then open the **Stale content** list in Capable Quality to see every page not updated in that time.

## Before you start

| **You need**                                                  | **Why**                                                                                          |

| Capable Quality, or the Capable Suite on the Advanced edition | Quality is part of Capable Quality for Confluence and the Advanced edition of the Capable Suite. |
| Confluence administrator                                      | Only Confluence administrators can turn the rule on. Anyone can use the list afterwards.         |
| No indexing wait                                              | Stale content uses each page's last-updated date, so the list works straight away.               |

## Steps

1. Open Capable Quality: select **Capable Quality** in the Confluence **Apps** menu, or in a space sidebar to see only that space (in the Suite, **Capable**, then **Quality**).
2. Under **Manage**, select **Rules**.
3. Find **Stale content** under **Content & Structure** and choose a level: **Priority**, **Warning** or **Info**.
4. In **Not updated in:**, pick **1 year**, **2 years**, **3 years** or **5 years**.
5. Select **Save changes**. **Unsaved changes** shows next to the button until you do.
6. In the navigation, under the level you chose, select **Stale content**. The list shows every page and blog post last updated before the cut-off.

## What happens next

Stale pages also count in each page's Quality byline and in the Quality panel in Capable Search. Opened from a space, the list shows only that space.

The rule is off by default, and its level is **Warning** unless you choose another.
