Configuring Better Content Archiving for Confluence

This page discusses the configuration settings which affect the behavior of the app globally, regardless of which space it is used in or which scheme it is used with.

Global settings

You can configure these settings as a Confluence administrator, going to Confluence Settings (cog icon "⚙" in the top right) → Apps → Better Content Archiving → Global settings.

Data privacy (hiding the username of the last page viewer and updater)

The app allows you to hide the username of the last viewer and the last updater. These features aim to protect information that may be sensitive in certain teams (controlled by a corporate policy, for example).

The visibility of the last viewer and updater, as well as previous viewers and updaters, is managed through the "Data privacy" configuration setting. When enabled, the user interface displays the anonymized piece of text "undisclosed user" instead of the actual username:

The Content Status Indicator looks like this, when anonymized:

Another example is the User analytics tab of the Site dashboard, which looks like below, when anonymized:

The "Data privacy" configuration option affects the following user interface elements:

  1. Content Status Indicator
  2. Content Analytics (opened from the Content Status Indicator)
  3. Content Status Details (opened from the Content Status Indicator)
  4. Content List (displayed by the Content Status List macro or opened from the Content Status Overview)
  5. User analytics on the Site dashboard and on the Space dashboard

Note that even when the usernames (sensitive) are hidden, the actual dates (not sensitive) are shown. Therefore, you can know that a page was last viewed 15 days ago, for instance, but you cannot know who was the viewer.
