Other pages need to be revised on a regular basis (such as daily, monthly, annually). The person that is responsible for the page will be notified when the page hasn't been revised recently enough.
Mark some pages as permanently relevant

A Page Gardener is the person who is responsible for one or more pages. Their task is to ensure that the content of their pages is kept up to date or the pages are archived when they are no longer needed.
The page gardener is automatically notified when their pages are getting out of date and the exact pages growing out of date are shown to them. By utilizing a Confluence macro on an arbitrary page, they can obtain a summary of the current status of all their pages.
View status and responsible user at a glance

With the help of labels the expiration of a page can be easily configured. By adding noexpire
or expire-2y
the page will either never expire or expire after 2 years.
Inheritance enables easy setting of expiration behavior for a group of pages or an entire space hierarchy.
