Configuration

The Better Content Archiving app has been designed from the ground up with flexibility in mind. As a result, most aspects of the app are highly customizable.

Customizing the app's behavior is done by configuring schemes that let you define your content lifecycle management workflows according to your preferences.

About schemes

Schemes are reusable sets of rules that can be applied to any number of spaces. They determine how the Better Content Archiving app processes those spaces. The nature of these rules depends on the type of the scheme.

Configure schemes

The app offers the following scheme types:

• Content status schemes determine how content statuses should update.
• Notification schemes determine when notifications should be sent out to users.
• Automation schemes determine which contents should be archived or deleted.

The app comes with a set of factory default schemes designed to fit the most common scenarios. You can define your own schemes by customizing factory default schemes or creating new ones from scratch. You can always restore factory defaults.

Apply schemes

After you're done configuring your schemes, you need to make sure they are applied to your spaces as required by your content lifecycle management workflows.

Configuration screens

The Better Content Archiving app can be configured from two configuration screens:

• Site scope (global) configuration screen
• Space scope configuration screen

Site scope (global) configuration screen

To view and modify the site scope configuration, you need Confluence administrator privileges. This configuration screen can be accessed under Confluence Settings (cog icon "⚙" in the top right) → Apps → Better Content Archiving. This is where the majority of the configuration of Better Content Archiving can be found and managed, including managing the schemes and applying them to spaces.

Space scope configuration screen

To view and modify the space scope configuration, you need Space administrator privileges. Access this configuration screen by opening the space, clicking Space Settings → Integrations → Better Content Archiving. Here, you can view the details of the schemes applied to this space, and you can apply a different scheme to the space. If you have Confluence administrator privileges, you can also access the scheme management page from here.
