Approvals for Confluence Cloud - April 2025

We’re delighted to announce the April 2025 update to Approvals for Confluence Cloud has just been released.

Bug fixes 🐛

• Atlassian have resolved the incident with Page Approvals, and as such we have reverted the below two workarounds and Page Approvals will now function as expected. This includes the reinstation of the functionality to disable Page Approvals at the space level, and the removal of the Page Approval display in the Page Approval Status Macro which will now display only the macro as expected.

• Due to the inability for some customers to access Page Approvals via the dropdown at the top of a Confluence page, we have implemented the full functionality in the Page Approval Status Macro. Now, the macro will display the Page Approval on its first tab, and the usual summary display on its second tab. In light of this change, the macro has been renamed Page Approval / Page Approval Status Macro, though this rename will rollout gradually to users. Exporting will not be impacted, and the status macro will export only the page approval status as expected. Note that this is a temporary change, and will be reverted when Atlassian have released a fix for our Page Approvals.

• Following the incident with Page Approvals, we have implemented a workaround to the main Page Approvals dropdown to allow it to display and work appropriately. Unfortunately, this is at the cost of having to remove the functionality allowing users to disable Page Approvals at the space level. This change will rollout gradually to users, and Page Approvals should begin functioning as expected. When the incident is resolved by Atlassian, the ability to disable Page Approvals will be re-instated.
